nuisances.
In all cases coming to my knowledge, I have removed
and properly disinfected (with the consent of the owners)
all bedding and clothing used by persons suffering from
infectious diseases.
In addition to the above, all bakehouses have been
visited twice during the year, and where necessary,
Notices were served, requiring the respective owners to

The slaughter and cow houses in the Hamlet have
likewise been frequently visited, and many improvements
