Air Carrlo's Replies

Mr W. J Carrie, Chairman replied: 1.--Yes I am well aware of the ralds that have for some time been made on unlicensed hawkers,

The authority is given by (0) Section 8 of the Hawkers Ordinance No. 22 of 1935 and any arrests made would be for contravention of By-law 13.

(b) These raids have my generat consent: I cannot say I have previous Junowledge of every one.

(e) These raids nro very neces- sary in the interests of public henith. I have just submitted for the con- sideration of this Council an amend-; ment of the by-laws, which is now ir circulation and will no doubt come up for consideration at our next meeting.

(d) My instructions. were that only stalls and itinerant hawkers selling foodstuffs, mainly cooked food or cut or peeled fruit, be dealt with in these rade, Bhould believe the opinion of all medical me men that hawkers of cooked or pre- pared food are a serious menace to the health of the community and that we shall never reduce the present heavy Incidence of intestinal disease until these hawkers, both stall and itinerant, are totully abolished.

(a) Nothing is confiscated to-day in the Orst instance; but in the amendment to the by-laws I have mentioned I am asking for authority to confiscate the gear and goods and chattels of any unlicensed hawkers of cooked or prepared food.

On

the approach of the Health, Inspectors the unlicensed hawkers invariably run away leaving behind their goods. The stalls, utensils and furth are then removed from the streets by a Sanitary Department van, and are retained in the Disin fecting Staing a claimant.
