Bakehouses.
These have, during the year been systematically visited
to secure compliance with the regulations. There are now 40 in the
district. The structural defects in many of them are serious, but legal
difficulties present a great obstacle in the way of attempting to abolish
them.
Underground Rooms.
With regard to underground rooms generally,
due attention continues to be directed to them, and the regulations on
the subject are strictly enforced.
Houses let in
Lodgings.
There are 66 houses registered under the Bye-laws
(Table XXVII.) and inspections have been systematically
made to ensure compliance with the regulations.
Rag and Bone
Shops.
These have been regularly visited, and have called
for no special action on the part of the officials.
Cow-Sheds,
Milk Shops, &c.
There is only 1 licensed cow-shed in the district;
this, together with the milk shops, etc., has been
subjected to constant supervision.
The Market.
The market has been systematically visited both by
night and day. As I have remarked on previous occasions, the meat
exposed for sale is at times of somewhat inferior quality.
Dust Collection.
The pail system continues to work most satisfactorily.
The dust is removed weekly from every house in the district,
and from some of the streets in the poorer parts of the town twice or
thrice weekly.
The Destructor provided by the Board continues to work in a most
satisfactory manner both by night and day.
