There are 2 Registered Slaughter-Houses in the district, and these, together with the shops where food is prepared, have been visited regularly. Every attention has been given to the Slaughter-houses to enforce compliance with the Bye-laws, and there has been no occasion to take legal proceedings. Number of Slaughter-houses on Register 2 Number of Visits 45 DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS. At the present time there are 17 cowsheds in the district. The majority of these require considerable structural alterations, and when the new Bye-laws with respect to Dairies, Cowsheds, etc., are adopted, it is my intention to take the necessary steps to secure the carrying out of these very necessary improvements.
