The average number of cows kept by the
persons registered is 256; and all are under
periodical inspection of the Council's Veterinary
Inspector.
I found it necessary to call the owner's
attention to the insanitary condition of the
drainage of the cowsheds at Manor Farm, Hook,
with the result that an entirely new and up-todate
system of drainage has been constructed and
the adjoining yard paved.
Legal Proceedings.
Legal proceedings before the Magistrates
were taken against the owner of 73, Cleaveland
Road, to recover the sum of £11 9s. 6d. the
cost of reconstructing the drainage in default of
compliance with the notice served. When the
summons came on for hearing the defendant did
not appear, but wrote a letter admitting his
liability.
The Magistrates made an order for the
amount claimed and two guineas costs.
