where food is sold were frequently inspected during the year,
but I did not find any cause for complaint.
During the year the following were seized and taken before
a Justice:—
1 box of bloaters.
1 box frozen rabbits.
1 barrel of dog fish.
1 basket of cherries.
5 barrels of potatoes.
1 box of skate.
Food and Drugs Hets.—Samples under these Acts are
taken by Mr. W. Tyler, the County Council Inspector. No returns
are supplied to our Council as to the number of samples taken in
the District and the result of the analysis.
Dairies, Cocusheds and Milk Shops.—There are at
present 66 Dairies and Milkshops and 5 Cowkeepers on the
Register. Every quarter I forward a Notice to the occupier of
every Dairy and Cowshed reminding him of his duty to have the
premises limewashed, as required by the Regulations, 132 visits
were paid to the Dairies and Milkshops, and 20 to the Cowsheds,
and they were found to be in good order with the exception of one
which was found to be getting into a bad state. I served a notice
upon the Owner to remedy the defects and he has given the tenant
notice to leave, and proposes putting up some houses on the site.
Bakehouses.—The number of Bakehouses on the Register
is 25 of which 8 are underground. A circular letter is sent to the
occupiers every six months reminding them of the time to lime-wash
and cleanse, as prescribed by the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901.
All these premises have been visited, 70 inspections having been
made.
Slaughterhouses.—There are 4 Slaughterhouses in the
District 2 Licensed and 2 Registered. 42 visits were paid to these
premises and upon each occasion the Bye-Laws were found to be
complied with.
