Dairies, Milkstores and Milkshops.—In pursuance of section
34 of the 41 & 42 Vict., ch. 74, the Contagious Diseases (Animals)
Act, 1878, an Order in Council was made on the 9th July, 1879, regulatingthe

District, are registered by the Metropolitan Board of Works (the Local
Authority).

of 1863, takes their inspection and supervision out of the hands of
the Local Sanitary Authorities, some correspondence followed, which
resulted in my directing the Sanitary Inspectors to visit these places
as heretofore.
Common Lodging Houses.—In this District there are 63 Common
Lodging Houses, registered under the Common Lodging Houses Acts
of 1851 and 1853, to accommodate 2328 persons; the supervision of
these houses is under the police; Sergeant Mallett, residing at Albany
Street Police Station, being appointed for the district.
For the list of houses, &c., vide Appendix, Table 9.
Rag and Bone Shops.—The Inspectors have frequently visited
these places and reported them to be kept in as fair a condition as the
the nature of their business admitted.

were duly visited, especially on Saturday nights, for the purpose of
