Your Council decided to serve a notice upon each
of the bakers informing them as to the alterations and
amendments that were necessary before certificates of
fitness would be granted.
I subsequently reported from time to time as to

an extension of time was granted to enable the applicant
to comply with the requirements and obtain the
necessary certificate.

to the amount of 15s. with 4s. costs were ordered.
