BAKEHOUSES.
The number of bakehouses on the Register at the end
of the year was 91, and 327 inspections were made in the
period under review. Fifty-seven nuisances were found, chiefly
due to dirty ceilings or sanitary conveniences, and it was
necessary to serve 11 intimation notices, all of which were
complied with without the necessity of further action.

The number of these premises on the Register at the

26 removed. The inspections numbered 491, and in 14
instances a nuisance was discovered, necessitating the service of
six intimation notices, which were complied with.
