I hope shortly to see the system in working order
so that the drains of the Factories, Cottages, and
other property in the vicinity can be connected. This
will do away with a great nuisance which has frequently
arisen.
The number of drains repaired during the year
was 364. The number re-constructed was 59.
SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
There are seven Slaughterhouses in the District,
four of which are licensed from year to year under the
Public Health Amendment Act, 1890.
The four that are Licensed from year to year are
of modern construction and well within the control
of the Council.
With regard to the three Registered, one is well
situated and of fair conslruction. One is a fair
Slaughterhouse, but the entrance to it is very bad.
One is very old and situated in a bad position, being
close to dwelling-houses.
I am hoping that within a few hours the lastmentioned
will be demolished and a better class
property substituted.
The Slaughterhouses generally are well kept and
the periodical limewashing carried out, as required by
the Bye-laws.
