The total number of milkshops registered is 321. These have
been visited by the District Inspectors, and notices served where
necessary.
Water Supply.
Notices of withdrawal of water supply has been received from
water companies in respect to 340 premises. The supply had been
cut off for non-payment of rate, defective fittings, or premises
closed.
In 116 instances the supply has been reinstated; in 179 the
premises are either pulled down or in course of demolition ; and 45
are still empty.
Disinfecting.
During the epidemic of smallpox the disinfectors were at work
from early morning to very late at night, rarely finishing before
midnight, and I am glad to be able to testify to their willingness at
all times to undertake duties however arduous, and to the care and
attention displayed under most trying circumstances.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
Thomas Fredk. Strutt,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
