Sanitarily, these 17 Cowhouses are in good condition, and they
have been inspected carefully during 1904, and the drains in each
case tested with the chemical test, without a result being obtained
in any single instance. A tew minor sanitary defects were found
during 1904, e.g., defective paving, defective walls and floors,
&c., and in one instance a grain pit was being improperly used.
One Cowhouse (38, Hartington Road) has changed hands
during the year 1904, and is now licensed to William Davies
Rees (formery T. Davies).
The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical inspection
of the Cowhouses, and the due enforcement of all Byelaws
and Regulations which have been made in connection therewith
under the Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milk-shops Orders,
1885-86-99. Such duties were carried out by the London
County Council previous to the passing of the London Government
Act, 1899. During 1904 no action has been taken in
regard to infringement of Bye-laws.
