Supplementary.
Tuberculin tested 4
Pasteurised 2
Twenty-one samples of milk were submitted for
examination and in twelve instances they were also
examined for the presence of tubercle bacilli (animal
experiment).
In two instances B. Coli were detected and high counts
were recorded in two other cases, one of which was unpasteurised.
These were immediately followed up and, in
one case, the trouble was traced to the cooling section of
the pasteurising apparatus, whilst in the other the inspections
and explanations given indicated that it was an
isolated instance. Improvement resulted and later samples
gave satisfactory results.
In the tests for the presence of tubercle bacilli negative
results were returned in each case.
All the milk delivered to schools was included in these
examinations and in each ease a satisfactory result was
recorded.
SWIMMING BATHS AND POOLS.
There are no swimming baths or pools, publicly
owned or privately owned and open to the public, within
the district.
SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
The sanitary conveniences attached to licensed
premises in the district are periodically visited and
generally found to be kept in a satisfactory condition.
With the rebuilding of several of these premises improvement
has resulted in the conveniences attached
thereto.
