SANITARY INSPECTIONS, ETC.
The following is a summary of the complaints received, visits
made, notices served and defects remedied during the year 1952.
The number of complaints of almost all types showed a decrease
on the previous year, but the total number of visits made by
the Sanitary Inspectors continued at a satisfactory level, particularly
in respect of those premises in which food is prepared and
stored for sale.
The Chief Sanitary Inspector and his colleagues can again be
congratulated on a very full and useful year's work.
