remarks in former reports, namely, how important it is that the
constant supply should be general all over the district; and I
trust that before long we shall see it universal.
COWSHEDS AND DAIRIES.
An important work in the district is the inspection of the
dairies and cowsheds in the district, of which there are a large
number. They have all been visited, and, speaking generally,
were found in good condition. Notices in several instances had
to be served as to whitewashing and cleansing.
MILK-SHOPS.
These were all visited and found in good order.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
All the slaughter-houses have been examined and found to
comply with the necessary requirements.
BAKEHOUSES AND BUTCHER'S SHOPS.
These were all visited and inspected, and found in fair order.
In some cases notices were served to clean, etc.
LAUNDRIES.
The laundries being now under the Factory Act are regularly
supervised by the Government Inspector. They have also been
inspected by me, and in several instances notices had to be served
to make good certain defects.
