Ice Cream Makers.
All premises where ice cream is made have been regularly
inspected.
Workshops and Workplaces. &c.
During the year the above premises upon the Register have
been periodically inspected.
Milk Shops.
There are 54 milk shops in the district and these were inspected
periodically. On a few occasions the shop keeper had to be
cautioned about the cleanliness of the milk vessels and utensils.
The shop keepers are all duly registered by name.
Cowhouses and Dairies.
There are three cowhouses in the district and these are
thoroughly inspected four times a year, to see that the cleansing
is carried out. This is done without any trouble. Frequent
inspections are also paid to see that the hands of the milkers are
clean during the operation. A caution was necessary in one shed.
Slaughter Houses.
There are four licensed in the district. These are periodically
inspected, and are kept in a satisfactory condition.
Eating Houses.
These were inspected and found satisfactory.
Markets and Stalls.
Much attention has been paid to these with a! view of preventing
the sale of unsound food. Night inspections have also been
made, and good results have been obtained.
The class of meat sold, has, in my opinion, been sound.
