Unsound Food.
During the hot weather in the Autumn large quantities
of unsound food were brought to the Stone Yard to be
destroyed. Amongst these were about 6 tons of fruit,
several parcels of fish, and a quantity of various kinds of
vegetables.
Animals Improperly Kept.
From time to time during the year the Inspectors found a
number of rabbits, fowls and dogs improperly kept so as to
be a nuisance or injurious to health. In addition to these,
complaint was made of a nuisance caused by a number of
performing pigs which were being kept in a stable in the
District. Upon notices being served on the owners all
these animals were promptly removed.
