I have regularly visited the bakehouses, which are kept in clean condition. Several are underground, and these are now considered to be in an unhealthy position. The law now is that no bakehouse shall be allowed underground which is not in use as such at the present time. During part of the year the scavenging of the ashpits has been carried out by contract in a fairly satisfactory manner, but I believe it is a step in the wrong direction, and would, I think, be done more satisfactorily by the Council. I cannot close my report without thanking, through you, the M.O.H. for the valuable assistance I have received from him, and the kind and courteous way in which he always shows his willingness to give me advice and assistance in the discharge of my duties. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, J. CRATHORN, C.S.I., Sanitary Inspector.
