New Sanitary Order Aims at Street Vendors in DC
Health Officer Woodward urges immediate enactment of a bill to tightly regulate edible items sold by street dealers and markets in Washington. The draft bans sale of unwrapped foods like candy and butter unless fully wrapped, requires hot-water washing of utensils, and sets rules to keep foods off ground and away from dogs, with strict enforcement by the District Commissioners. The Washington Board of Trade urged similar measures to protect public health.
