    Sanitary Inspector’s Report, 1911. Gentlemen, I beg to forward my report for year ended 31st December, 1911, as follows The Slaughter Houses in the Borough are well kept and regularly limewashed in accordance with the Bye-laws, and instructions have been given that no Slaughtering of Animals or Dressing of their Carcases shall take place in Public view. I have had occasion to caution Butchers for not carrying out the instructions of the Council to Pole-axe animals before Slaughter. The Bakehouses, Dairies, and Cowsheds have been frequently inspected by me, and I have found them to be well kept, and Utensils in use clean. Several Drains have been found blocked during my visits, and the Owners or their Agents have had same attended to forthwith upon Notice given. The provisions of the Housing Town Planning &c., Act, 1909, might with great advantage be acted upon, but great difficulty is found by Occupiers to find other homes when Houses are closed. Huntingdon, January, 1912. I am, Gentlemen, Yours obediently, FRED BROWN, Sanitary Inspector.
