Milk, containing a foreign ingredient, viz.:— 0.015 per cent. of
formaldeheyde. Summons since withdrawn.
Bakehouses.
I have by your instructions made periodical inspections of the
bakehouses throughout my district, 17 in number, three of which
are underground; the conditions in some cases have necessitated
service of intimations respecting dirty walls, flooring and utensils,
also accumulation of sweepings under the troughs, and the biannual
limewashing not being carried out at the time specified
in the Act.
Cowsheds and Slaughter Houses.
Five notices were received for the renewal of licenses, the premises
were duly inspected, and where any infringements of the
regulations were found, intimations and notices were served, and
the infringements satisfactorily abated before the licenses were
granted.

Milk Shops and Milk Sellers.
I have by your instructions made periodical inspections of the
premises where milk is sold throughout the district, with the object
of detecting any infringements of the regulations in respect of
means of storage, prevention of contamination, registration and
cleanliness; in three instances milk sellers were cautioned as to the
condition of the measures, and the caution has had the desired
effect. Two measures were found to be old and worn out. Intimations
were served and new ones supplied.
Number of milk sellers, 34.
Number of milk sellers discontinued selling milk, 9.
Number of milk sellers change of ownership, 10.
Number of milk sellers added to register, 6.
