also been removed from the register, the premises having been let for purposes other

The following summarises the results of the inspection of the above premises
made in 1905: Inspector Lear had 13 under observation, of which eight required

found, with three exceptions, to be in a clean and satisfactory condition. Inspector
Jordan had 20 under inspection; fourteen were in a clean condition, in two cleansing
was necessary, in one cleansing and defective yard paving required attention, in one

of a proper dust receptacle, and in one instance eaves guttering was defective. Inspector

his utensils as clean as they ought to have been, in one instance the place for the
preparation of the ice-cream was not in accordance with the regulations, in one instance
the drains were obstructed, and in a fourth case the premises generally required
cleansing; the remaining 20 premises were found to be kept in a clean condition.
