Bakehouses.
A list of the bakehouses in the district is given in the Table at the end
of this Report.
On comparing this Table with the similar one given in the Report for
1904, it will be seen that the total number of bakehouses remains the same,
but that one or two then in use are not now occupied. Generally speaking
it may be said that the sanitary conditions of the bakehouses is satisfactory.
Dairies and Milkshops.
A detailed list of the dairies, cowsheds and milksellers in the district is
given at the end of this Report, and other facts regarding them will be found
in Table C2.
In addition to the suppliers of milk included in the list, there are others
from neighbouring places who come into this district to sell milk. The
Health Department has no control over these persons, and it is possible that
the bye-laws in force in the localities in which their cowsheds are situated
may differ from those in force in Heston and Isleworth.
It is to be hoped that before long not only will similar bye-laws with
regard to cowsheds be adopted by all the separate authorities in the County,
but also that a uniform system of enforcing and carrying them out will become
possible.
The contraventions of the bye-laws mentioned in Table C2 were those
in connection with which notices were served. There were in addition contraventions
that were remedied by other means.
The most common faults found were as follows:—
Interior of cowshed not properly cleansed 16
Interior roof and walls of cowshed not limewashed 3
Drainage of cowshed not in accordance with Section 7 5
Dairy not thoroughly cleansed 21
Drainage of dairy, milkshop or milkstore not in accordance
with bye-laws 18
Yard dirty 10
Proper precautions not taken to prevent exposure of
milk to risk of contamination 28
Milk-cans dirty 7
Milk improperly stored 5
