OTHER FOODS.
Mr. Fred Wilson and Mr. T. M. Boswell, the Assistant Sanitary
Inspectors, who hold the Certificate of the Royal SanitaryInstitute
for Inspector of Meat and Fords, visit the slaughterhouses,
of which there are 18 in the district, every week, and as
will be seen by a reference to the Sanitary Inspector's Report, they
paid 819 such visits, examined 2,106 carcases, and secured the
surrender of 17 parcels of diseased organs.
The sanitary condition of the slaughter-houses is, on the whole,
satisfactory.
BAKEHOUSES.
I visited the 46 bakehouses in the district, of which 41 are in
use, the other 5 either being empty or used for other purposes,
and found them all in a satisfactory condition.
HOUSING.
The Regulations issued by the Local Government Board, under
Section 17 (1) Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, are receiving
close attention.
The following are the particulars required by Article 5 of
these Regulations to be included in my Report:—
Number of dwelling-houses inspected 353
Number of houses considered on inspection to be in a
condition so dangerous as to be unfit for human
habitation 0
Number of houses closed and demolished without orders 0
Number of houses closed 0
Number of houses closed and demolished following
Closing Orders 0
Number of representations made to the Local Authority
with a view to the making of Closing Orders 0
Number of Closing Orders made 0
*Number of houses where defects were remedied without
service of Closing Orders 0
Number of houses which, after making of Closing
Orders, were put in a fit state 0
* This inquiry would appear to refer to dwellings, which, on inspection,
were found to be unfit for human habitation, and although
defects were found at some of the houses inspected, they were not such as
to require the issue of Closing Orders.
