May 17, 1946, a report/ratio of the health service recommends to
prohibit the sale of fried and other food in the streets of Montreal by
measurement of hygiene. Adviser David Rochon affirms "that owners of these cars
are unaware of courammment payments of circulation, that they are cause of
dirtiness, that they are also a danger to the children who stud themselves with
their cars, that they disturb the peace of the citizens with their whistles and
finally, which they are as a whole an obstacle with the progress of the small
merchants of the city ( the Fatherland , September 29, 1946). In spring 1947, the municipal administration
refuses to emit the licences of these merchants.
At that time, it circulates approximately 190 cars of this kind of the
streets of the city.
