Cowkeepers and Milksellers.—There are now 13 cowkeepers in
the district, 3 having given up occupation during the year. The new
regulations have been before the Local Government Board twice, and
have been returned to the Council for their final drafting. While we
have not succeeded in obtaining all the provisions asked for, there will
be much improvement, and this will apply even more extensively to the
milksellers, of whom there are 93 under supervision.
During the year, in these premises the following improvements have
been effected:—
Factories and Workshops.—Supervision has been exercised over
the various premises recognised respectively as factories, workshops,
outworkers, and workplaces.

which supervision is exercised under the Public Health Acts as to
sanitary accommodation.
The trades carried on under this heading are:—
Drainage repaired
Paving repaired
