heads of the Cows. It should not be of less dimensions
than five feet by two feet, and should be constructed with
a dividing board, or diaphragm, in the middle. If these
improvements are adopted, the Shed may be licensed for
five Cows.
No. 9. Shed, occupied by Mr. Barker,
Wentworth Street.
The pavement of this Shed requires repair. The walls
should also be lime-whited. It has standing-room for five
Cows, and may be licensed for this number. This Shed is
placed in a roomy Yard, and the dung-pit is at a distance
from it, but it is not so cleanly kept as it ought to be.
No. 10. Three Sheds, in the occupation of
Mr. R. James, Bell Lane.
Two of these Sheds, a and b, are licensed. A license is
sought for Shed c. Shed a requires better ventilation,
which will be best effected by placing a ventilating shaft at
the further end, near to the wall of the dwelling which
adjoins the Shed, and by putting some raised ridge-tiles
on the roof. It is a long Shed, and is now occupied by
seven Cows. A license may be granted for ten.
Shed b joins Shed a, and is so constructed that the Cows
stand at right angles with the others. It has standingroom
for five Cows, but should not be licensed for more
than four.
