During the year a very considerable amount of
attention was paid to all dairies, cowsheds, milkshops,
and the milk supply generally in the district.
As milk is the staple food for all children and most
invalids it is absolutely essential that the milk should be
from healthy cows kept in an healthy and natural
manner, and that no preservatives whatever should be
used.
(2) Slaughterhouses.
There are 21 slaughterhouses in the district, all of
which are regulated by the bye-laws of the Council.
They have received very full attention from your officers.
(3) Bakehouses.
There are 38 bakehouses in the District. This is 2
more than the previous year.
(4) Piggeries.
There are 50 piggeries in the district, and
as is usual with the hot weather, came several complaints
of the piggeries, more particularly in Eastfields, Mitchain.
