Stable Premises.
There are 39 premises on the register, and these have all been
systematically inspected during the year, strict attention being given
to the provision of efficient receptacles for the storage of manure,
and the prompt and frequent removal of all manure from the
premises in order to minimise the risk of nuisance from "flies."
