COWSHEDS AND DAIRIES' ACT.
During the year the Cowsheds of the District have been
visited periodically, and where overcrowding was found, notices were
served, and the nuisances abated. In some cases it was found
necessary to have alterations carried out to provide efficient ventilation,
drainage, paving, &c.
Fifteen dealers were registered during the past year, and in two
cases, where infectious diseases occurred, immediate steps were
taken to remove the patients, and to carry out the requisite disinfection,
as well as to have the milk found on the premises destroyed.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
Periodical and systematic visits were paid to the Slaughter
Houses, and in three cases, nuisances against cleanliness were found
to exist. The occupiers were made to remedy these. There are
19 Slaughter-Houses in the District. Four licenses have been transferred
during the year and one surrendered.
ANTHRAX.
Notices of warning with regard to this very dangerous and
fatal disease having been received from the Local Government
Board, have been posted up in all the Slaughter-Houses of the
District.
UNSOUND FOOD.
During the year, 12 cwt. of tinned food, fruit, and fish was
found on inspection to be unfit for human food. It was at once
destroyed.
