Unsound Food. I am pleased to report that ON case of unsound
food came to my notice during the year.

inspected, the total number of visits being 87, and attention has
been paid to the cleanliness and sanitary accommodation of the
persons employed therein.

the Factories and Workshops are well kept:—

These defects were remedied without legal proceedings being
taken.

the year:—
