One Cowshed and two Slaughterhouses have been discontinued
since my last report.
Previous to the Annual Licensing I inspected the Slaughterhouses
and Cowhouses, and found them in a satisfactory condition.
I attended the Sessions House on the 1st October, when licenses
were granted to the applicants.
Bakehouses.
In 1883 the Factory and Workshops Amendment Act was passed,
by which the legislation of 1878 was revoked, and the Vestries and
District Boards restored to their former position, so far as relates
to the inspection of Bakehouses, in respect to ventilation, overcrowding,
and cleanliness. I was requested by the Sanitary
Committee to prepare suggestions for regulations with respect to
Bakehouses, which were approved by your Board, and ordered to
be printed and supplied to each Bakehouse proprietor in the district.
I inspected the Bakehouses in February and March, and again in
September and October. On my first inspection I found many of
the Bakehouses had fallen into a deplorable state of neglect; in
some the drains were untrapped, and in two instances water-closets
had been erected. In most cases lime-washing had been greatly
neglected. These sanitary defects have all been remedied, and the
Bakehouses are now in fair condition.
