Cowhouses and Dairies.
There are three cowhouses in the district and these are thoroughly
inspected at least 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;
I find that in some of the sheds a pail of warm water is provided for this
purpose.
Slaughter Houses.
There are four licensed slaughter houses in the district. These
are periodically inspected, and are kept in a satisfactory condition. Only
small animals are allowed to be killed in these registered premises. Ofttimes
a visit is made while slaughtering is in progress.
Eating Houses.
These were inspected and found satisfactory. Included under this
heading are seven fried fish shops, which are visited for the purpose of
inspecting the class of fish used in the trade and sold to the public.
Bake-Houses.
There are 20 bake-houses in the district, and all are regularly
inspected. The work of cleansing is carried out satisfactorily.
Hairdressers' Shops.
There are 11 of these shops upon the register and they are visited
frequently. The utensils used in this business are kept clean.
Ice Cream Shops.
There are many of these shops throughout the district, but on a
small seale; the owners only supply the ice cream during the summer
months, and during that period visits are often made and the utensils
inspected. The place where the ice cream is stored over night is
particularly investigated.
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 and fit for
human food.
