Trade Nuisances.
Complaints having been made of a nuisance caused by the drying
of fish skins upon the first floor of No. 12, Duke Street, Old Artillery
Ground, the Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Wrack, visited the premises, and
informed the occupier that the locality was not suitable for the carrying
on of such an offensive business, and requested him, without delay, to
discontinue the use of the premises for any offensive business purposes.
Mr. Wrack subsequently reported that the nuisance had been removed
from the District.
An application was made to the Metropolitan Board of Works
by a Mr. Stanton, for sanction to establish anew the business of a
tripe boiler, at the rear of No. 29, Thomas Street, Whitechapel. The
matter was referred to your Board by the Metropolitan Board of
Works, and the same being objected to, Mr. Stanton withdrew his
application.
Adulteration of Food and Drugs Act.
Mr. Battram reports that he has submitted to Mr. Young, the
Analyst for the District, five samples of milk, three of coffee, and one
of arrow-root, for analysis; one sample of milk was found to be
adulterated with 25 per cent. of water. A summons was taken out
against the vendor, a conviction obtained, and a fine of £1 and 2s*
costs imposed.
Mr. Wrack reports that, during the Quarter ended 1st October,
he purchased 11 samples of milk, and two of bread, and submitted the
same to the Public Analyst for analysis; four of the milks were reported
to be adulterated with water in the following proportions, viz., 11, 13,
14 and 22 percent. The vendors were cautioned; several samples of
milk had been previously purchased of the same persons, which were
reported to be pure. The breads were reported to be free from
adulteration.
