Cowsheds.— There are five licensed cowsheds registered to keep 102 cows;
113 inspections were made, and the premises found in a cleanly condition
generally, and the London County Council by-laws observed. There has not
been any disease among the animals.
Milkshops.— I made 406 inspections of the registered milkshops and
dairies and found the utensils and premises generally' kept in a fairly clean
condition. The small general shops selling milk are not so clean as the larger
dairy shops which deal only in dairy produce.
Food and Drugs Acts.— I submitted 340 samples of food to the Public
Analyst for analysis, and four samples of water from the Regent's Canal (for
results see report of Sir Thomas Stevenson, Public Analyst).
Bacteriological examination.— I submitted 17 samples of milk for examination
(for results see Dr. Eyre's reports).
Legal Proceedings.— I attended the Police Court 28 times in connection
with my duties as prosecuting Food Inspector.

Yours obediently,
J. Osborne.
Meat and Food Inspector.

on any of the boats inspected, and the regulations have been fairly well
observed by the boat dwellers.
