Advantage is taken of this to serve notices to
cleanse and whitewash in accordance with the
Regulations.
These were seen to have been complied with
on inspection after occupation, and also the cubic
space required for each animal. All these Cowsheds
have now a proper water supply laid on from
the West Middlesex Water Company.
DAIRIES AND MILKSHOPS.
The number of Dairies and Milkshops on the
Register is 64. These were periodically inspected,
and again when any suspicious circumstance arose
to excite inquiry.
They were generally found to be kept scrupulously
clean, and the utensils properly scalded and
washed.
