DUST AND HOUSE REFUSE.
There has been a more or less continuous
application made for a more frequent call from the
scavengers, although the regulation period of
cleansing, once in fourteen days, has been fairly well
maintained. Some of the applicants suggest once
a week, whilst others ask that attention should be
given to the bins even oftener. The suggestions
were considered by your Committee, and your
Surveyor prepared a report upon the daily collection
of refuse. The matter is still under consideration
of the Committee.
BAKEHOUSES.
The Bakehouses were periodically inspected
and were found in a good condition. In some of
them white-washing was neglected, and in two the
ceilings wanted repairing. In all cases the necessary
work was carried out.
DAIRIES AND COWSHEDS.
These have been visited at various times. In
five oases the premises were found to be in an
insanitary condition, one due to defective drainage,
and two to an accumulation of Cow manure. In
two other instances the cowhouses required limewashing.
The attention of the various owners
was called to those defects, which were remedied
in due course.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
The condition of the slaughter houses in the
district has been well maintained, in only one case
has it been necessary to make any complaint, which
referred to defective paving, and was attended to
upon verbal notice being given to the owner.
