In addition to the inspections mentioned above, a large
number of dwellings have been inspected and nuisances arising
from defective and choked drains, defective and unclean sanitary
conveniences, dirty rooms, defective roofs, gutters, refuse, &c.,
have been abated; particulars of which will doubtless be
enumerated in the annual report of the Inspector of Nuisances.
Milk. Supply.
There are three cowkeepers in the district, who keep an
average of 100 cows, which are inspected quarterly by a Veterinary
Surgeon appointed by the Council for the purpose of ascertaining
if any case of tuberculosis of the udder exists in the cattle.
The premises are under periodical inspection, and have
invariably been kept in a cleanly condition, a verbal intimation
being quite sufficient to get any defect attended to at once.
Regulations under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milk Shops
Orders are in force in the district.
Water Supply.
The supply to this district is from the mains of the Metropolitan
Water Board, and has been maintained at constant and
good pressure.
The supply has been invariably clear and bright, and is well
filtered.
Food Supply.
The premises where food is prepared for sale hav'e been
inspected by myself and the Inspector, and the condition of
these premises were found satisfactory.
Bye-laws for slaughter-houses are in force,
