A large number of the defects first reported are now remedied.
Nearly 700 formal notices were served. Second visits
have been, and are being made; and where the defect
still exists second notices, before summons, have been
served. Considerable correspondence has resulted on the
service of these notices and proceedings: the whole tending
to obtain the remedy of the matters reported. Further
reports have to be made in all cases where the work is not
done, and these are from time to time submitted to the
Local Committees. This work will be followed up until
all the defects reported arc remedied and set right."
Bakehouses.
These premises have been inspected by the Board's
Officers, pursuant to the provisions of the Factory and Workshops
Act, 1883, under which authority for such inspection is
given.
Cowhouses and Slaughterhouses.
These premises were regularly inspected by the Inspectors.
In September the Medical Officer of Health made his
inspection prior to the annual licensing by the Justices,
when he reported that he found the various premises in a
cleanly and satisfactory condition, and saw no reason to
oppose the renewal of any of the licenses. Other intermediate
applications for licenses have been dealt with.
