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 infringement of the regulations, in respect of
means of storage, prevention of contamination:, cleanliness and
registration, and during the year there has been no occasion to
take legal proceedings, a caution in 3 cases only being necessary.

Factory and Workshops.
During the year the workshops and workplaces in the district
where male labour is employed have been inspected, the number
employed in each case being checked, and any alteration found
duly reported and entered in the register kept for that purpose.
Particular attention has been givenl to the sanitary arrangements,
cleanliness, light and ventilation, and where necessary notices
served and the nuisances satisfactorily abated.
Smoke Nuisances.
During the past year the shafts throughout the district have
been kept under special observation, and in 5 instances nuisances
were detected. Intimations and statutory notices were sent, and
the nuisances satisfactorily abated. There has been no recurrence
of the nuisances therefore no necessity to take legal proceedings.
