Bye-laws.
The Bye-laws made by the London County Council, and
the District Board, as the Sanitary Authority, under the
provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, have
been enforced during the year in all cases where necessary.
Note.—The Bye-laws made by the Council are published by
the Council's printers at a charge of 3d. per copy, and
those made by the District Board are also published.
Copies can be had on application at the Board's offices.
The Board's Hospital.
This establishment at Hither Green has been kept open
during the year, and 20 cases have been treated there.
Bakehouses.
The bakehouses have been regularly inspected during
the year. Numerous notices have been served on owners or
occupiers of premises where some amendment or improvement
was required on Sanitary grounds.
Cowhouses and Slaughterhouses.
These premises have also been regularly inspected.
SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACTS.
During the year 59 samples were analysed, and 6 were
found adulterated or reduced in quality. Summonses were
applied for and granted in 3 cases, and two of the defendants
were fined 40s. and 20s. and costs respectively. In the third
case the defendant pleaded guilty, and admitted having
added water to the milk. The summons was adjourned for
a prosecution by his employers. The defendant, however,
did not appear, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
