These were all inspected at least twice during the year, and
the necessary cleansing was carried out.
A number of houses in Larch Road, Balham, were ordered by
the Council to be placed on the Register, but the owners objected
and the matter is still under consideration.
Milkshops.
All the milkshops on the Register have been frequently
inspected, and I am able to report that they arc all kept in a
satisfactory condition.
42 new millkshops were registered during the year, (two in
Clapham, four in Putney, 15 in Streatham, seven in Tooting, and
14 in Wandsworth), and one was removed from the Register at
the request of the owner.
The total number now on the Register is 302.
Inspection of Kitchens in Restaurants.
During the year these were inspected and notices were
served where the premises were not kept in a clean and satisfactory
condition.
The following Table shows the number of visits made by
the sanitary Inspectors to slaughterhouses, bakehouses, cowhouses,
and kitchens, as well as the number of inspections of
urinals attached to public-houses.
