5. Unhealthy Areas.
There are no areas in the Borough which can be classified as
unhealthy. There are, of coarse, small groups of houses which
do not come up to the required standard of fitness, but these are
being dealt with and will either be closed or repaired.
6. Byelaws relating to houses, let in lodgings, and to tents, vans,
sheds, etc.
The following Byelaws relating to houses are in force :—
(a) New Streets and Buildings;
(b) The Cleansing of Earthclosets, Privies, Ashpits and Cesspools ;
(c) With respect to Nuisances; and

There are no Byelaws as to Houses let in Lodgings.
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
Milk Supply.—There are 8 cowkeepers on the Register as
producers of milk, 2 having been discontinued during the past
year. It is expected that more will shortly disappear on account
of the rapid development of the land for building purposes.
At the end of the year there were on the Register 80 retail
purveyors of milk. Nineteen of these registrations were in respect
of premises owned by one Company and used as places for distributing
bottled pasteurised milk received from the Central Depot
in another district. During the year one purveyor of milk opened
new premises for the purpose of selling milk, there were seven new
purveyors of milk registered who had purchased premises from
others who were on the register and one with premises in another
district was registered to retail milk within the Borough. Four
purveyors of milk gave up business during the year and were
removed from the register.
