Districts. These duties I continued to carry out until the return of

has also been devoted to the work under the Food Control Orders.
Dairies' and Milkshops.—One hundred and thirty-eight visits
were made to these and 3 dirty unwashed measures found. Four
new milksellers have been registered. One summons has been

were all cleaned without the service of a notice.
Offensive Trades.—One visit was made to the only offensive
business in the Borough and this establishment was found in a
