House to House Sanitary Inspection.
In the latter part of the year it was decided that a sanitary
inspection of all the houses in the Parish should be carried out as
early as practicable, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of
the drains, yards, sinks, water-closets, &c. In view cf this undertaking-,
a circular letter was addressed to the owners and occupiers,
informing them of this proposal, and asking their co-operation. By
your directions I selected three qualified Inspectors for the purpose
of carrying out your wishes; their duties were to commence on the
2nd January, 1893. In my future Report, for the year 1893, I shall
have the pleasure of detailing the results of this inspection.
Food and Drugs Act.
Under this Act your Analyst examined 22 samples of food, as
follows:—
Coffee 3 sampies.
Sugar 3 „
Milk 4
Butter 3 „
Pepper 3 „
Whiskey 3 „
Ale 2
Porter 1 sample.
They were are all found to be genuine, with the exception of
one of the samples of milk, but it was not sufficiently bad to warrant
a piosecution.
Sanitary Notices.
Dining the year Sanitary Notices to the number of 157 were
served upon the owners or occupiers of property, besides numerous
verbal recommendations to remedy sanitary defects.
Bake-Houses.
The bake-houses have been regularly inspected. Three required
lime-whiting, and notices were accordingly served.
