Butchers' Shops.
There are 49 butchers' shops in the district.
All the shops are provided with glass fronts.
These premises have been visited periodically and the
provisions of the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, which
provide for the cleanliness of the premises, apparatus,
utensils and vehicles, the precautions to be taken against
the contamination of meat, the storage and removal of
refuse, etc., have been, generally, well observed.
Bakehouses.
The number of bakehouses in the district is 40. During
the year 2 new bakehouses were opened and 2 existing bakehouses
closed.
At 28 bakehouses motive power is used and the premises,
therefore, constitute ''factory bakehouses." The remaining
12 bakehouses are "workshops."
The bakehouses have been visited by your inspectors
and steps have been taken to cause them to be maintained
in a proper sanitary condition.
The periodical limewashing of these premises, as required
by statute, has been carried out.

premises has been maintained, and the provisions of the

af dairies and cowsheds, the protection of milk against
