BAKEHOUSES.
At the end of the year 1905, there were 34 bakehouses in the Borough, of

REPORT ON THE EXAMINATION OF FOOD.
I presented a long report to the Public Health Committee, giving various
recommendations respecting the examination of various articles of food,
including canned goods, butcher's meat, meat in tripe dressers' shops, dairy
produce, ice cream, and other foods generally. I also pointed out various
increased powers that are required in order to prevent the sale of diseased,
unsound, and unwholesome food. The report was approved by the Public Health
Committee and the Council, and as details were given in the minutes of the
Council meeting of the 25th July, 1906, they need not be repeated here.
