The Cow-sheds and Slaughter-houses were inspected
during September, and their sanitary condition found
satisfactory.
The Bake-houses were inspected twice during the year.
In April 12 required cleansing and limewhiting, and in
October 29 required cleansing and limewhiting, and in
2 cases the water supply was defective.
The sanitary inspections of the sub-district have been
carried out in a most systematic and thorough manner
by Inspectors Fairchild and Dee, and I can speak very
highly of the zeal and intelligence which they have bestowed
on their work.
ARTHUR NEWSHOLMR, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health for Clapham.
