Sanitarily, these 14 Cowhouses are in good condition, and they
have been inspected during 1907, and the drains in each case
tested with the chemical test, without a result being obtained
in any single instance. A few minor sanitary defects were found,
e.g., defective paving and channels (2), leaky roof (1), and manhole
cover not properly sealed (1).
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 1907 no action has been taken in
regard to infringement of Byelaws before the Magistrate.
One Cowhouse has changed hands during 1907, viz., 93,
Clive Road, West Norwood, to Messrs. Wraight, Dumbrill & Co.,
Limited.
