Cowsheds and Dairies.
One hundred and twelve visits have been paid,
the object being to see that they are kept clean,
that all refuse is removed, that there is no overcrowding,
and that the drainage is maintained in
good order. One milk-shop has been re-drained,
one additional cowshed to accommodate 40 cows
has been built at the Berrylands Dairy Farm, and
two purveyors of milk have been registered during
the year.
Workshops.
The visits paid to workshops numbered 104.
Twelve were found to require whitewashing, 6 had
to be repaired, and 2 were provided with additional
water closet accommodation. In addition one
workshop was found to be structurally defective,
and was pulled down and re-built. Overcrowding
was remedied in one instance.
Yours obediently,
W. NESFIELD, Assoc. San. Inst.,
Sanitary Inspector.
February 10th, 1898.
