Factories and Workshops.
These remain about the same as last vear and information
respecting them is contained on the sheets
issued by the Home Office.
No infectious disease has occurred in outworkers'
premises during the year.
Clerical Work.
Your inspector at present performs all the clerical
work of the health department, and as the district grows
and new legislation puts more work in hand so this work
will increase.
Apart from the preparation of the annual vital
statistics, which absorbs a considerable amount of time
during the months of January and February, there
arrive from time to time requests for information respecting
housing, water supply, etc., which your inspector is
expected to answer or furnish, and this necessitates the
searching of records, some times for years back.
The following registers are kept in the Public Health
Department:—
Register of Nuisances.
Register of House to House Inspections (under the Housing
Regulations).
Infectious Disease Records.
Tuberculosis Notifications and Records (3 books).
Notification of Births Act, Register and Record.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Register.
Petroleum Licences.
