Cowhouses.
There are two licensed cowhouses in this Borough, viz.:—
26, Nile Street; Daniel G. Walters 22 cows.
76, St. John's Road; Thomas Williams 14 cows.
The sanitary condition of both these cowhouses is satisfactory, but in all
the circumstances of the milk trade of to-day, the presence of cowhouses in
the midst of a densely crowded city appears to be an anachronism in favour
of which there is very little to be said.
Thirty visits of inspection were paid to these cowhouses during the year.
cookshops and eating houses.
Including the kitchens of public houses where food is prepared for
customers, the number of these under inspection during the year was 223, and
some 426 visits were made in connection with them. Some 25 sanitary
notices were served, mainly for cleansing.
Fried Fish Shops.
Some 55 were under inspection and 228 visits were made to them. 22
sanitary notices were served, mainly for cleansing.
Ice-Cream Shops.
The number under observation during the year was 120, and 205 visits of
inspection were made. In 19 instances sanitary notices were served. Most
of these were for general cleansing. The L.C.C. (General Powers) Act, 1928,
provides for the registration of ice-cream premises.
At the end of the year the number on the register was 120.
Bakehouses.
The number of bakehouses on the register throughout the year was 51.
