Attention has been given to this matter from time
to time during the year, particularly at our own refuse

Princess's Theatre, and a certain amount of literature
was distributed within the district relative to rat and
mice destruction. During the year 1 made 125 visits to
premises relative to this matter.

thereto, are being carried out.
The number of Milk Purveyors on the register is 17
and the number of Producers 4.
