(3.) Messrs. Bonner and Capper, of 19, Tavistock Mews,
to keep 11 cows, in a cow.house 24 ft. x 22 ft. x 10 ft = 5,280
cubic feet.
Bakehouses.— Notwithstanding that the Factory and
Workshop Act of 1878, by repealing the Bakehouses'
Regulation Act of 1863, is said to take the inspection and
supervision out of the hands of the local sanitary authorities,
the Sanitary Inspectors were directed by me to visit
the bakehouses regularly, and to report on any existing
nuisance or want of cleanliness in them ; the 19th Section
of the Sanitary Act of 1866, as it now stands, giving the
sanitary authority full power to visit any factory or workshop
in the District.
Rag and Bone Shops.—These shops were duly visited,
and, whenever any business nuisance was discovered, it
was promptly abated by the owner, at the Inspectors'
request.
The retirement of Mr Cull from your Board, will be
especially felt in the Sanitary Department, where he so
long and ably filled the post of Chairman of Committee.
I beg to acknowledge the valuable assistance and advice
which he rendered me at all times in the performance of
my official duties.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
S. R. LOVETT,
Licentiate of the Royal College of
Physicians, Edin., &c.
Member of Council of Society of
Medical Officers of Health.
June, 1882. Medical Officer of Health for the
