The milch cows have been regularly inspected
every three months by your Veterinary Inspector
and his reports have invariably been that the
animals were in a healthy condition.
The average number periodically inspected
was 64.
LAUNDRIES.
There are 2 where machinery is used, and 8
worked entirely by hand, These were periodically
inspected during the year and always found to be
in good order.
There are also 19 domestic laundries where
the work is done by one or two members of the
family. These were also visited from time to time
and no cause for complaint was found.
BAKEHOUSES.
There are 14 on the register: they were
inspected from time to time.
All the sanitary arrangements were in order.
Beyond one or two trivial matters, which when
pointed out, were promptly attended to, everything
was found to be in a very satisfactory condition.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
There is no public abattoir in the district.
The number of private slaughter houses on the
register is the same as last year, viz., seven, these
were periodically visited and no cause was found
for complaint.
I was requested by your Sanitary Committee
to report upon a proposed site for a new slaughter
house. I considered the site in question to be
most unsuitable, on account of its proximity to
existing houses.
I understand that the application was not persisted
in and no license was granted.
