Factories, Workshops, Workplaces and Outworkers.
During the year the premises upon the Register have been periodically
inspected, and where necessary, for sanitary purposes, notices have been
duly served upon the responsible persons, and the nuisances were abated
thereon.
Milk Shops.
There are 58 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 registered by name.
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
of milking; I find that in all of the sheds a pail of warm water is provided
for this purpose.
Canal Boats.
These boats are visited whenever found to be lying alongside a
wharf. 26 have been inspected during the year without cause of
complaint.
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, and the carcases are
inspected. Killing is often carried out during the late evening hours.
Eating Houses.
These were inspected and found satisfactory. Included under this
heading are nine 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 17 bake-houses in the district, and all are regularly inspected.
The work of cleansing is carried out satisfactorily.
Hairdressers' Shops.
There are 20 of these shops upon the register and they are visited
frequently. The utensils used in this business are kept clean.
