I have inspected the whole of the houses in Kingston
Vale twice since July.
The Bake-houses, Cowsheds and Dairies and Slaughter
houses have been visited and inspected at frequent intervals.
As a whole they are clean and well kept, though now
and then one or two require extra looking after.
Your sewage works have been much improved this
year.
The effluent has been analysed from time to time and
found satisfactory.
I have had three complaints of nuisances of pigs
during the year, but these have been rectified before
proceedings were taken.
I have the honour to remain
Yours faithfully,
EDWIN CHILD.
F. S. Merryweather, Esq., J.P.
