"the Parish, seeing that every one of them have
"broken the laws yon laid clown for their regulation,
"and this after repeated warnings."
The result of this report was your determination
to recommend to the Magistrates the closing of all
the cow-houses in the Parish, and this has now been
effected, as there is no longer a cow-house in the
Parish. I may state that the result has already
been beneficial in a high degree. The property in
the neighbourhood of the cow-houses has already
improved, a better class of tenants occupy the
houses, and no complaints are heard of the quality
or quantity of the milk to be obtained in the
Parish.
CONCLUSION.
There are many other subjects which I have
brought before you in my fortnightly reports to
which I might allude, but as my report has already
extended to an unusual extent, I must defer them
till another year. I have had little or nothing to
report with regard to the supply of gas or the
adulteration of food, as the apparatus which you
have determined to erect is not yet in a sufficiently
advanced state to be practically employed. I have
also advocated the improvements in certain parts of
the Parish by which property now covered with
buildings which are injurious to the health of those
who now occupy them would be removed, but as
these improvements are in abeyance I defer for the
present to dwell upon them. I have much pleasure
