Regulations under Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Orders,
1885 and 1886.
Further particulars are given under Powers and Duties of the
Public Health Committee on pages 1 and 2.
The tables on pages 43 to 45 and 48 to 54 summarise, as far
as possible, the Sanitary work of the Department; from this it will
be seen that a total of 15,569 houses and premises have been
inspected or re-inspected during the year; 1,291 intimation notices
and 172 statutory notices have been served.
It is very gratifying to be able to report that only in one instance
was it found necessary to institute Police Court proceedings during
the year, particulars of which arc contained in the table on page 52.
There were altogether throughout the year 572 complaints
registered.

total includes 8 laundries, 14 dressmaking and mantle works, 11

others, including workplaces, such as 4 blacksmiths, 14 barge
builders, 4 builders' yards, etc.
