    The samples mainly consisted of loose or soft ice cream. The results indicate to some extent the high standard of purity now achieved by this industry. Of ten vehicles examined only one failed to meet the requirements of the Regulations. This van, which operated from outside the district, lacked proper washing facilities and was in a dirty condition. 'The district con¬ cerned was informed. The vehicle no longer operates in the area. During the year it has been necessary to draw attention of 17 stall holders, who sell foodstuffs in the street market at Lymington, to non- compliance with these Regulations. In one instance proceedings in the Magistrates Court were taken against a stallholder and his assistant for non-compliance concerning 13 separate offences. Fines totalling £77 were imposed. Another stall holder was observed selling a quantity of tinned foodstuffs without labels or markings. A combined inspection was subsequently made by the district Public Health Inspector and the Weights and Measures Inspector when a number of tins were found to be unlabelled and damaged. Proceedings were taken by the County Council and fines totalling £33 and £10 costs were imposed.
