Workshops and Workplaces, do.
During the year the above premises upon the Register have been
periodically inspected.
Milk Shops.
There are 57 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,
which 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.
Attention has been given to the sale of unsound milk.
The class of meat sold has, in my opinion, been sound.
Unsound Food.
Several trunks of fish have been surrendered by owners, and
certificates given. Forty-eight boxes of tomatoes have also been
surrendered.
Bakehouses.
These are often inspected, but there has been little cause of
complaint.
They are now classified as Workshops or Domestic Workshops.
