Sanitarily, these 13 Cowhouses are in good condition,
and they have been inspected during 1910, and the drains
in each case tested with the chemical test, and a result
obtained in 1 instance, viz.: defective vent pipe to drain.
A few minor sanitary defects were found, e.g., defective
paving (1), dirty premises (3), defective gutters (1), and
defective receptacle roof (1); whilst at Elder Road Dairy,
the following improvements were voluntarily carried out
during 1910: (a) granolithic paving laid, (b) roof matchlined,
(c) vertical boiler provided with 3 scalding and washing
galvanised tanks, together with 2 vertical scalders for
churns.
The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical
inspection of the Cowhouses, and the due enforcement of
all By-laws and Regulations which have been made in
connection therewith under the Dairies, Cowsheds, and
Milkshops Orders, 1885-86-99. Such duties were carried
