have been surrended.
The Chief Inspector and Chief Assistant Inspector both hold

Bakehouses.
All the bakehouses (20) have been periodically inspected during
the year.
There is one underground bakehouse in the District, certified
by the Sanitary Authority. The use of this will probably be
discontinued early in the new year, as the occupier has taken other
premises and is building an overground bakehouse more suited to
modern methods. I am of opinion that with reference to bakehouses,
the Council should have power to make byelaws to regulate the conditions
of these places, for while on the whole they are kept in a fairly
clean condition, I frequently find that the floors and surroundings
are not swept and cleansed as often as they should be, and there is
much room for improvement in this direction.
