True, the Council were compelled to take proceedings in respect
of Avenue Cottages, but that was an old outstanding debt. I
have always given every facility, by means of personal interviews
and reminding letters, to property owners and builders,
and I find that this is nearly always sufficient to obtain what
is required in the abatement of nuisances.
HOUSE DRAINAGE.
The drains of the following houses were entirely reconstructed
:—
1 to G, Mostyn Gardens.
13 and 15, Claremont Avenue.
31, Dorset Road.
24, Richmond Avenue.
The Prince of Wales, public-house, Morden Road.
COWSHEDS, DAIRIES, AND HILKSHOPS.
Under the Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Order every
person carrying on the trade of a Cowkeeper, Dairyman, or
Purveyor of Milk must be registered by the Local Authority.
Periodical inspections of all the registered premises have been
made, and the utensils inspected. The cowsheds have been
regularly cleansed and the condition of the cattle noted. During
the winter months a difficulty occurs in keeping the animals
free from mud, but I have no great trouble in convincing the
cowkeepers of the necessity of great cleanliness, and I find
them generally willing to adopt any suggestion I have to make.
The number of persons whose name appears upon the register
at the end of the year was as follows :—5 Cowkeepers, 8 Dairymam,
and 8 Purveyors of Milk.
Number of visits to these premises :—84.
