REPORT OF FOOD INSPECTOR FOR THE YEAR 1919.
Milkshops and Dairies.—One thousand, one hundred and
sixty-eight inspections were made during the year. Three Notices
were served for cleansing and repairs, all of which have been
complied with. In six cases vendors were warned for having dirty
or unwashed measures in use. Thirty-seven new retailers have
been registered. The condition of the dairies generally has been
good.
Cow Houses.—There are now thirteen licensed cowkeepers
with fourteen sheds. One hundred and ten inspections were made
of these, and one notice was served for dirty and dilapidated
condition; in this case owing to a change of ownership, I had
considerable trouble in getting the premises put into proper order.
Offensive Trades.—There is only one registered offensive
business in the Borough, viz., a tripe boiler. Three visits were made
during the year, but no boiling has been done for the last two years,
as the coppers and apparatus, etc., are out of repair.
