PUBLIC HOUSES.
During the year, 172 Public Houses belonging to 7 Brewery Firms
have been inspected.
In these inspections attention was given to the structural condition
of the business parts of the premises, the methods and appliances used
in the conduct of the business, and, where catering was carried on, the
condition of the kitchens, utensils, stores, etc.
Considerable information has thereby been obtained. On the completion
of the inspections of all the Public Houses belonging to each
particular Brewery, the Owners have been notified of certain undesirable
conditions existing at their various premises.
Representatives of the Breweries have been interviewed and an undertaking
received from them that the matters referred to would be given
attention and remedied.
There were other matters left in abeyance until the completion of
the inspections of all the Public Houses in the Borough, when a common
policy may be evolved after consultation with all the Brewers concerned,
with the object of bringing about a general improvement in the conditions
and conduct of the business and their premises.
