instance only during the year. An application was made to the
magistrates for an Order for the ejectment of the tenant of a

the Council. The Order for Ejectment was granted.
FOOD SUPPLY AND PLACES WHERE FOOD IS
STORED OR PREPARED.
Milk Supply.
No milk is produced in the District, the source of the whole of
the milk supplied to inhabitants is from outside. It is of the
utmost importance that milk, especially as it enters so largely into
the dietary of young children, should be produced as pure as
possible, and safeguarded subsequently from every kind of
contamination and adulteration.
There is no indication that the milk supplied has been below
the average.
