DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACTS.
Mr. G. R. Woods, Chief Sanitary Inspector, is the authorised
inspector under these Acts for the Borough of Bromley.
Fifty-two inspections and interviews were made in connection
with this work.
Many Orders were received from the Ministry of Agriculture
and Fisheries concerning Fowl Pest, Foot and Mouth Disease and
the Regulations of Movement of Swine Order, 1950. Under the
latter regulations twenty licences were received authorising the
movement of two hundred and fifteen pigs.
Fowl Pest was confirmed to exist on one premise within the
Borough.
REGISTRIES FOR FEMALE DOMESTIC SERVANTS.
It would appear that there is little work for Registry Offices
within the area.
Observation has been kept on shops displaying advertising
boards. Unless these shops are registered with the Local
Authority, the exhibition of advertisements for female domestic
servants contravenes the Byelaws.
