The undermentioned articles were destroyed by the
Nuisance Inspector as being unfit for food:—
120 Pairs of kippered herrings.
140 Mackerel.
100 lbs. Currants,
4 Bushels of Cherries.
Bakehouses.
These have been kept under constant supervision,
and are all in good condition. Two new ones
were opened during the year, neither of which complied
with the requirements of the Act. Notices were served
and the necessary alterations carried out.
Cow and Slaughter-Houses were all inspected. They
were found to be in good order, and in no case was it
necessary to oppose the renewal of the licence.
Mortuary.
The Mortuary has been used more extensively
this year than ever. The bodies of 108 persons were
placed in it, far more than sufficient to prove its necessity.
The condition in which it is kept is good.
I have to express my satisfaction with the manner in
which the several Inspectors have carried out their
duties. Mr. Richards, as heretofore being most energetic,
using every endeavour to maintain the condition of the
district as being one of the best inspected in the whole
of the Metropolis.
