Bakehouses.
There are 19 bakehouses now registered in the district.
These have been inspected during the year, and the regulations
adopted by the Council under the Factory and Workshops
Act enforced.
These regulations relate to:—
(a) Overcrowding.
(b) Ventilation.
(c) Light.
(d) Communication with bedroom.
(e) Communication with w.c, ashpit, or privy.
(f) Cleanliness and whitewashing.
(g) Drain openings.
(h) Water supply.
There are no underground bakehouses in the district for which
certificates of suitability have been given. There were several in
occupation on January 1st, 1904, and as the requirements of the
Council were not carried out they were all closed.
Slaughter Houses.
Two registered slaughter houses now remain, and one of these
will probably be closed shortly. There is no regular supervision
of the animals killed in these places. The only supervision is in
respect of the cleanliness and suitability or otherwise of the
premises. This is a great defect in our Sanitary administration,
