Sanitarily, these 15 Cowhouses are in good condition, and they
have been inspected carefully during 1905, and the drains in each
case tested with the chemical test, without a result being obtained
in any single instance. A lew minor sanitary defects were found
during 1905, e.g., defective paving, defective walls and floors,
broken manhole cover, defective vent-pipe, defective flushing
cistern, &c.
The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical inspection
of the Cowhouses, and the due enforcement of all Byelaws
and Regulations which have been made in connection therewith
under the Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milk-shops Orders,
1885-86-99. Such duties were carried out by the London
County Council previous to the passing of the London Government
Act, 1899. During 1905 no action has been taken in
regard to infringement of Bye-laws.
