Milkshops and Dairies.
The Loudon Government Act, 1899, transfers the powers of the
London County Council of inspecting, registering- and enforcing the
By-laws and Regulations with respect to Dairies, Cowsheds, Milkshops,
Slaughter-houses and offensive businesses, to the new
Borough Councils.
I have received from the London County Council a list of the
registered Dairies and Milkshops situated in this district.
There are no Cowsheds, Slaughter-houses or offensive businesses
in the Parish of St. Martin's.
The regulations with regard to Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
(so far as they apply to Milkshops and Milkstores) provide for
registration, cleanliness of premises and of utensils used in the
businesses, also against contamination of milk from offensive
effluvia and infectious disease.
Workshops and Bake-Houses.
The workshops and bake-houses have been duly inspected, and
have been found in a clean and satisfactory condition.
Sanitary Notices.
Sanitary notices in reference to 266 premises were served upon
the owners or occupiers of same, and legal proceedings had to be
resorted to in two cases.
Houses Let Out in Lodgings.
Your Sanitary Inspector (Mr. W. Cooke) who was appointed
to inspect these houses, has regularly carried out this duty, and
has reported to me all sanitary defects coming under his notice.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN J. SKEGG,
Medical Officer of Health.
