Slaughter Houses.
There are only five slaughter houses in the

have been frequently, and at irregular periods
inspected to ascertain if they are kept in conformity
with the Bye-laws regulating the same.
It was found necessary to serve a notice
upon one owner to cleanse and whitewash the
walls and ceilings, and on a second to repair a
defective drain.
Dairies, Cowshed and Milkshops Act.
The requirements of the above Act have also
been carried out. One dairy has been re-drained
and the floor and yard adjoining concreted.
Yours obediently,
