The Bake houses, 48 in number, have been inspected
twice during the year. In April 11 required limewhiting,
and in October 17 required limewhiting, the
whole of these were cleansed and limewhited without
notices.
The above figures and statements show that sanitary
work is being vigorously prosecuted and that in spite of
exceptional conditions a satisfactory degree of healthiness
has been maintained in the sub-district.
