water supply, drainage &c., having been effected during the two
previous years. The defects found were mainly of a minor character
and were promptly remedied on attention being called to them. It is
however to be regretted that all with but five exceptions are underground,
and this, too, is the case with those recently opened in new
districts. Legislation is urgently needed to enforce the registration and
annual licensing of all bakehouses and although it would entail too
great a hardship on many bakers to interfere with existing underground
bakehouses, provided they are in good sanitary condition as far as
an underground bakehouse can be, no newly-erected bakehouse
should be permitted to be underground.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The licenses of the undermentioned slaughter-houses were renewed
in October last by the County Council, no objection to the renewal
being raised by the Vestry. They are but little used, the parish
being mainly supplied by the dead meat trade, and have always
been found well kept.
