The total number of complaints attended to, and of notices
served, was rather higher than in the previous year, but it
was not necessary to take legal proceedings in any case.
The markets have been regularly inspected and kept in
good order, and it has been only necessary to condemn
articles of food exposed for sale in two instances.
The licensed cow-sheds and slaughter-houses have also been
regularly inspected and kept in good condition. There are only
four cow-sheds and six slaughter-houses now in the parish, the
owner of one of the seven slaughter-houses licensed last year
not having applied for a renewal. No application for a license
has been opposed, and no new application has been made.
The duty of inspecting the bake-houses has been again
very properly placed upon the Sanitary Authority; they have
been inspected periodically, and all Sanitary work required
has been carried out in a satisfactory manner.
The number of articles of clothing, bedding, etc., disinfected
has been even less than in 1885, on account of the
absence of Small Pox, not a single case of which disease
was reported during the year.
A new Mortuary has been built at Ebury Bridge, and the
following is the return of the number of deaths received in
it from the 9th September, 1886 to the 31st March, 1887, as
furnished to me by the Mortuary Keeper, Mr. H. Coles.
