Bakehouses.
There are 13 bakehouses in the district, all of
which have been inspected twice during the year,
and found to be kept in a satisfactory condition.
A verbal intimation has sufficed in every instance
to secure the requisite limewashing.
Of the four underground bakehouses, one has
been closed and the business discontinued, two
have been abolished and new ones built above the
ground, and the other has been altered and improved
so as to comply with the Council's requirements
to obtain a certificate of fitness under the
Act.
Slaughter Houses.
There are six slaughter houses in the district,
all of which have been frequently and at irregular
periods inspected to ascertain if they are kept in
accordance with the Bye-laws regulating the same.
In one instance the drainage was found to be
defective and a notice was served to put it in order.
The work is now in hand.
