found to be clean. In two cases white-washing
was required, and in one case the roof wanted
repairing. In each case the needful work was done.

a satisfactory condition.

three cases the premises were found to be in an
insanitary state, owing to an accumulation of
manure and their condition generally. Verbal
notices were given and the defects remedied.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

owners' attention being directed to the requirements
of the Bye-laws, the necessary work was duly
carried out.
