STABLES AND MEWS.
Considerable attention has been given to the inspection of Stables
and Mews, especially during the summer months. Some 275 surprise
visits have been paid in connection with these premises and in very
few cases were accumulations of manure found. Copies of the
Regulations of the Council have been kept posted up at all the Mews
in the Borough.
A Register of Houses let in Lodgings is kept. There are at present
180 premises on the register. 61 new premises have been added to
the Register during the year.
122 samples of Food and Drugs have been submitted to the Public
Analyst during the year. A table will be found on page 69 showing
the result of proceedings taken under the above Acts.
BUTCHERS, GREENGROCERS, FISHMONGERS, &c., SHOPS.
These are constantly inspected with a view to seizure of any unsound
food exposed for sale or intended for sale for the food of man. In
several instances it was found necessary to advise the shopkeepers to
destroy small quantities of Meat, Fruit and Fish. This advice was
followed in every case so that it was not necessary to take further proceedings.
On 1st September, nearly the whole of the butchers shops
in the Borough were inspected. As a result a large quantity of meat
was seized and the owner summoned and fined. A register is kept of
all seizures and cautions.
Inspections have been made in the following roads and streets
during the year:—
