There are ten persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to
slaughter animals. Although licensed by this authority most of the men
are employed outside the district. No complaint has been received from
the districts in which they work concerning the conduct of any of these
men, nor was there any need for adverse report on the men locally employed.
DRAINAGE.
The work of relaying a "combined drain" serving nine houses,
mentioned in last year's report, was satisfactorily completed early this
year. The expenses incurred were apportioned between the Council and the
respective owners of the properties.
Apart from the normal repair jobs to drainage systems the department
is responsible for the approval and supervision of construction of domestic
sewage disposal plants in the unseweredareas of the district. In this
connection four new houses were constructed with sewage disposal plants;
three plants were considerably enlarged to deal with increased flows owing
to change of use of the properties; three new plants were installed to replace
defective and leaking cesspools and one cesspool was abolished on the
connection of the house drains to the sewer.
