follows:—
3, The Pavement, Ilford Lane.
60, High Road, Ilford.
The Post Office, High Street, Barkingside.
These were all visited to see that they were periodically
cleansed and limewashed and that the offal was promptly
removed. They were also visited many times during the
slaughtering of animals, and careful examinations made of
the carcases and internal organs.
INSPECTION OF FOOD.
The shops in the district have been frequently visited
for the purpose of inspecting food exposed for sale. Messrs.
Monkcom and Haigh, Assistant Sanitary Inspectors, both
hold the certificate of The Royal Sanitary Institute for
Inspectors of Meat and Other Foods, and they have taken
a very keen interest in this part of their work. During the
year the following articles were examined by your Inspectors,
and, after consultation with, and examination by, the
Medical Officer of Health, found unfit for human food, and
destroyed:—
29lbs. of liver; 5½lbs. of sheeps' lungs; 2lbs, of pork;
2½lbs. of suet; 2¾lbs. of frozen mutton; head,
lungs, and heart of oxen; 4 wings of skate; 2 boxes
of plaice; 19 head of hake; 1 trunk of cod- and
72 melons.
