Three sets of beasts' lungs slightly affected with Tuberculosis
were destroyed and disposed of with the refuse offal.
The carcases of two tuberculous pigs were removed by
the owner and buried in lime on his farm.
The Bye-laws as to periodical limewashing of walls, and
the removal of garbage, offal, etc., have been complied with,
no neglect in this respect having been found.
The Chief Inspector, Mr. Henry Johnson, and the first
Assistant Inspector, Mr. E. S. Robinson, both hold certificates
of the Royal Sanitary Institute for Inspectors of Meat
and Other Foods.
Inspection of Dairy Cows.—There is no system of inspection
of dairy cows in the Borough. Cases of generalised
Tuberculosis or of Tubercular Mastritis, which is assumed to
be practical evidence of generalised Tuberculosis, are
destroyed by being put through a special destructor on the
premises of Messrs. Harrison and Barber, Horse Slaughterers,
so as to be sure that the flesh has not been available for consumption
by man or animal.
Midwives Act, 1902.—Notice has been received from the
Surrey County Council determining our control of the Mid.
wives Act, as the County Authorities have made arrangements
to do the work themselves.
Public Health Acts (Amendment) Act, 1907.—Application
has been made for powers under Part III. of this Act,
but has not yet received the sanction of the Local Government
Board.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
ELWIN H. T. NASH.
