It will be seen that in by far the larger number of Sheds
the ventilation is defective; and I would suggest that the
improvements which are needed be made prior to the
licenses being granted.
These improvements would be best carried out under the
supervision of the Inspectors, as they are in possession of
the plan which was proposed for adoption in each case.
Taking the Sheds in the order of my inspection of them,
I have to suggest that in
No. 1, Occupied by Mr. W. G. Le Beau,
Royal Mint Street,
A license be granted for seven Cows. This place is fitted
up for nine Cows, but it has a direct communication with the
dwelling-house. It is cleanly kept, and is not crowded upon
by surrounding buildings. The roof is somewhat imperfect,
but this allows a free passage of air, and hence additional
ventilation is not required.
No. 2. Shed, occupied by Mr. G. Jones,
Royal Mint Street.
This Shed is a double one, having a space of five feet
between each row of Cows. It is now too much crowded,
and requires better ventilation. It is covered with a spanroof
which will allow of the ventilation being effected by
raised ridge-tiles. The walls are very low, which brings the
spring of the roof very close to the heads of the Cows,
and for this reason additional openings should be made
through the walls, by the insertion of air-bricks here and
there. It should not be licensed for more than fourteen
Cows.
