forms fixed showing the amount of cubic space in each bakehouse and
also the number of persons that may be employed therein at one time.
This affords ready means of ascertaining if any overcrowding exists at
times of inspection. Some occupiers have had to be cautioned respecting
the "sweepings" being allowed to congregate about the place, but
generally speaking nothing much to complain of has been found to
exist.
Dairies, Cowsheld, Milkshops and Slaughter Houses.
These places have received proper attention throughout the year.
The dippers and storage vessels have been closely inspected as to
cleanliness, especially under the handles, and have been mostly kept
well covered to keep out dust, etc.
The cowsheds before the renewal of licences have always been
inspected, attention being paid to all overhead parts where dirt could
gather.
One cowshed has been taken off the register, as it is not now used
for keeping cows in.
The register of milkshops requires constantly altering and amending,
owing to the smaller shops so often changing hands and the new tenants
have been placed on the register. This entails some amount of watchfulness
as rarely do the new tenants seek registration of their own accord.
The slaughter houses have been visited at times when killing is in
progress, and nothing out of the way found to exist.

Canal Boats Acts.
During the year I have had an opportunity of boarding 20 canal
boats, four of which were registered under the Canal Boats Acts, the
others were sailing and rowing barges.
Each boat was found to be in good order, those registered under the
Acts especially so.
