Ice Cream.
The London County Council (General Powers) Act,
1928, which received the Royal Assent on 3rd August,
1928, contains provisions in Section 29 requiring premises
used for the manufacture, storage or sale of ice
cream or other similar commodity to be registered with
the Borough Council and any person offending against
this section is liable to a penalty. The provisions do
not apply to premises registered as a factory or workshop,
or to a hotel, restaurant or club. This section will
facilitate the exercise by the Council of the powers
which they possess under the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, and the London County Council General
Powers Acts, 1902 and 1908.
Combined Drainage.
Section 32 of the London County Council General
Powers Act, 1928, provides that a drain shall still remain
a drain and shall not be deemed to become a sewer repairable
by the Borough Council by reason only of the fact
that the drainage of premises not included in the original
Order as to the drainage has been connected to it.
The Borough Council however cannot recover from
the owner of the premises any expenses which they incurred
in connection with the drain before the passing
of this Act.
Food Preparing Places.
There are known to be 104 food preparing places,
excluding bakehouses, in the Borough.
These are as follows:—Two large biscuit and cake
factories, one large sauce factory, 8 pie shops, 10

or dining rooms.
These premises are under the supervision of the
woman sanitary inspector, Mrs. Davies, who made 309
visits of inspection during the year under review, compared
with 272 during 1927. 16 notices requiring
cleansing were served during 1928.
