Milk Shops and Dairies.
I have made 498 inspections during the year, and have not had occasion to
report any infringement of the regulations, but I am of opinion there are
many of the places where milk is sold that are unsuitable for the storage and
sale of milk.
Food and Drugs Acts.
I have taken 375 samples of articles of food and submitted the same to the
Public Analyst for analysis, for result see his report.
Legal Proceedings.
I have attended 51 times at the Police Courts in connection with my duties
as Food Inspector, an increase of eight attendances over the year 1903.
I am, Sir,
Yours obediently,
J. Osborne,
Meat and Food Inspector.
Canal Boats Act.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I have inspected 77 registered dwelling boats during the year, and reported
one case of infringement of the bye-laws. A notice was served on the owner
of the boat, and was complied with. There has also been one case of infectious
disease, viz., Typhoid Fever. The patient was removed to the Asylums'
Board Hospital, all the clothes and bedding removed to the Borough Council's
Disinfecting Station, and the cabin fumigated before the boat was allowed to
leave on its voyage up country.
The majority of the boats are kept clean, in good sanitary condition, and in
good repair.
Yours obediently,
J. Osborne,
Inspector of Canal Boats.
