tubercular disease of the udder that might exist, and his
reports have been consistently satisfactory.
Under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts, the
Board of Agriculture made an Order in 1913; providing for
the compulsory notification by cowkeepers of any case of
tubercular disease among their cattle.
I, and the Inspector, have made periodical inspections of
all the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops in the district, and
found the premises were kept in a cleanly condition.
Regulations under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
Order are in force.
There are three cowkeepers, five dairymen and eight
purveyors of milk on the register.
To prevent the spread of infectious disease by means of
milk cans, dairymen are immediately informed by the
Inspector of Nuisances of the occurrence of disease among
their customers: and advised to refrain from leaving cans at
the house for a specified period.
Food Supply.
There are nine retail bakehouses in the district one of
which is not in use; and none of the bakehouses are underground
ones.
The bakehouses, slaughter-houses (5 in number), butchers'
and fishmongers' shops have been inspected at intervals by
myself and the Inspector of Nuisances and were found to be
kept in a satisfactory condition.
The Inspector of Nuisances holds the certificate of the
Royal Sanitary Institute as an Inspector of meat and other
foods, and is frequently in attendance at the local slaughterhouses
during the process of slaughtering.
