rendering satisfactory cleansing impossible. Representations
were immediately made to the owner and occupier, resulting
in new floors being laid, the provision of proper means of
drainage, lighting and ventilation, and to the water supply
being laid on direct to the Cowsheds.
The floors of two Milkstores and one other Cowshed were
properly repaired, and in another instance additional means
of lighting and ventilation were provided in a Cowshed.
The immediate surroundings of two Cowsheds were much
improved by the removal of large accumulations of manure,
and arrangements were made to prevent the recurrence of
similar accumulations in the future.
In several instances steps were also taken to enforce the
regulations with regard to the cleansing of the cows and
lairs.
There were six applications for Registration as Dairymen,
Cowkeepers or Purveyors of Milk, all the applications
being granted.
In one case a person who proposed to use a certain
building for the storage of milk, was advised not to apply for
Registration, owing to the premises being quite unfit for this
purpose.
There are at present 18 Dairies and Milkshops, and nine
Cowsheds in the District.
