OFFAL COLLECTION.
The collection of fish offal and butchers' refuse being of such
an offensive nature, must of necessity cause annoyance in the
summer months, but with due care and sanitary precaution (aided
by the recollection of expensive legal proceedings), it has been
reduced to a minimum.
The collection of offal is largely done late at night. Complaints
are occasionally made of nuisance arising from premises at
the time of removal, but the nature of the material should be considered,
and also what would result if the offal was not regularly
collected, but allowed to remain in back premises until action by
the Sanitary Authority caused its removal.
URINALS.
There are eight public urinals, exclusive of those in the Schools,
which are cleansed daily by a man, whose duty it is to maintain
them in a clean and proper manner.
The external urinals attached to public houses, have been
regularly inspected, and with a few exceptions have been well
kept.
At the instance of the Public Health Committee, several of
the public house urinals have been enlarged and reconstructed.
DAIRIES AND COWSHEDS.
There are five registered cow.sheds and 151 dairies in the
Borough. During the year 37 dairymen and purveyors of milk
have been added to the Register.
161 inspections were made and the work of cleansing, lime.
whiting etc., has been carefully carried out under the supervision
of the Inspector responsible for the district in which the dairies
and cowsheds are situated.
The general condition may be said to be satisfactory.
The following is a list of cow.houses:—
