WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply from the Grand Junction Water Works
was satisfactory. During the floods the water was somewhat
discoloured
The water of 10 wells was analysed and one was found to
be contaminated with organic matter.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The various Slaughter-houses in the District were inspected
from time to time and generally found to be in a fairly clean
condition. On two occasions an accumulation of blood, offal and
other matter in a putrid state was found to be deposited in the
rear of Wolsey Road. The occupier's attention being drawn to
this nuisance, it was at once removed.
DAIRIES AND COW-SHEDS.
Beyond two cases of lime-washing required, these were
found in a satisfactory condition on each of the numerous
inspections which were made.
BAKE-HOUSES.
These were periodically inspected. They all complied with
the regulations cf the Bake-houses' Act except one, where flour
was stored in a perfectly unsuitable place. A notice was served
and the necessary alteration carried out.
REMOVAL OF HOUSE REFUSE.
The removal of house refuse was, on the whole, satisfactorily
performed, and your inspector gave the subject perpetual attention.
At the annual inspection places were found where the dustbins
were evidently not emptied at the proper time, and on enquiry
it was very often ascertained that the progress of emptying the
dust-bin caused some inconvenience to the occupiers, or that they
did not like the work performed at the particular time the dustman
made his call.
