(8) Food, (a) Milk Supply.
There are 11 cowsheds in the occupation of 5 cowkeepers,
and 24 dairymen and purveyors of milk registered
in the District. There are about 70 cows, and these
have been regularly inspected by the Veterinary Surgon
appointd by the Council. This gentleman furnishes a
report quarterly to the Council, and during 1915 no case
of tuberculosis was found among the cows.
During the year the cowsheds, dairies and milkshops
have been regularly inspected, and have on the whole
been found in satisfactory condition. Three notices were
served under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order;
one to limewash buildings, and repair the floor and openchannel;
one to provide proper lighting and ventilation;
and one to limewash buildings and provide drainage.
Samples of the milk sold in the District are taken by
the Inspector of the Kent County Council, and out of 65
samples taken during the year, 1 was found to be slightly
deficient in some way, and the other sample was found
to be adultrated.
(b) Slaughter Houses.
There are 3 Slaughter Houses on the Register, these
have been regularly inspected, and found in a clean and
satisfactory condition. These inspections have been
made both at times when slaughtering is in progress and
at other times, but no tuberculous meat was found during
the year. The animals slaughtered in the District have
been in good condition, and have produced meat of good
quality.
(c) Bakehouses.
There are 14 Bakehouses in the District, none of
them being under ground. One has not been in use during
the year. They have been kept under regular inspection,
and with two exceptions have been found clean

walls and ceilings, and was complied with.
