Two applications for registration as purveyors of milk have
been made during the year. In each case the premises were inspected,
and their condition reported to the Sanitary Committee,
and the applications were granted. One business carried on as Cowkeepers,
Dairymen and Purveyors of Milk has been transferred.
The dairy and cow-shed, situate in the Boston Fields, have been
discontinued as such, and the premises are now used for other
purposes.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
The premises whereon offensive trades are conducted have been
regularly inspected, and kept, as far as the nature of the business
would allow, in a clean condition. During the year one application
was received, and permission granted to carry on the trade of a tripe
boiler. The premises have since been closed.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
There are six slaughter houses in use at the present time, all
situated in, or adjacent to, the High Street. Only one of the above

to the present occupiers. They have all been inspected during the
year, and the Bye-laws enforced.
CARAVANS
The dwelling vans of showmen who visit the town for the
purpose of attending the Fairs were inspected in order to ascertain

Infectious Disease which might exist among the inmates. The
condition of the vans was satisfactory, and no cases of Infectious
Diseases were found among the occupants.
