BAKEHOUSES.
There are 28 bakehouses in the Borough, 20 of these being

sanitary condition. Twenty of the occupiers altered their premises
to meet the requirements of the Council and one bakehouse was closed.
DAIRIES, COWSHEDS, AND MILKSHOPS.
There are 51 Milkshops and 2 Cowsheds in the Borough all of
which have been inspected. Three intimation notices were served
