General Sanitary Work:—During the year 272 premises
were inspected and 115 nuisances were discovered. Of these,
including those outstanding at the end of last year, 105 were abated,
leaving 10 outstanding. As in previous years, most of the work
was carried out after a letter or preliminary notice, and in 16 cases
only was it necessary to ask for legal notices to be served.
Slaughterhouses:—There are now 4 licensed slaughterhouses.
The registered one in Whytecliffe Road has been abolished. During
the year I have examined the carcases and organs of the following
animals:—
Bulls and Bullocks 0
Heifers 0
Cows 0
Calves 23
Sheep 894
Pigs 83
Total 1,000
230 visits were made to Slaughter houses, and in addition 115
visits were made to premises where food is sold.
Dairies and Cowsheds:—There are 7 Dairies and 14 Cowsheds
in the district, to which 114 visits have been made. A good standard
of cleanliness has been maintained, although in one or two cases
I have found it necessary to complain of want of cleanliness or
neglect of regulations.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
THOS. PAYNE,
Sanitary Inspector.
