Application has been made to the Ministry of Health during
the year for the approval of other byelaws dealing with—
(1) Fish frying.
(2) Dealers in rags and bones.
There are two local Acts in operation—(1) The Ilford Improvement
Act, 1898, which has important sanitary provisions, and
(2) Ilford Urban District Council Act, 1904, which had a section
dealing with the control of Tuberculosis, now over-ruled by the
Milk and Dairies Act, also a section dealing with infectious
disease, the enactments of which are similar to the Acts of 1907,
Sections 62 and 63 only of Part IV. of the Public Health Act,
1907, having been adopted.
During the year the special attention of the Council was

the matter. In addition, 65 premises where ice-cream was known
to be made were visited by the Inspectors, and a copy of Section
28 of the Ilford Act, 1901, left with the vendor of ice-cream.
