special attention paid to the sanitary arrangements, distance of
manure heaps from the dairy so as to prevent contamination of
milk by flies &c:.
The Drainage to one Cowshed at Totteridge was found to be
defective. Inasmuch as these sheds are drained into a cesspool
and a sewer is being laid along the road in front of the premises
the question of re-drainage has been left on abeyance fore short
period, but as soon as the sewer is ready to receive the drainage,
the owner will be required to re-construct the drain and connect to
the sewer. The cesspool will also be abolished.
One person was found to have erected a Cowshed in a field and was
selling milk without being registered. The shod did not comply
with the Order and Bye-laws and steps are being taken to secure
conformity therewith.
Six notices wore served in connection with these premises.

and filth, and the ready manner in which it transmits disease, make
