    Schools.—During the year I made the usual systematic inspect ion of the sanitary condition of all the Schools in the District, a detailed report being sent to the County Educational Authority, No special Inspections were necessary in connection with the outbreak of Infectious Disease. Bye-Laws.—In addition to those under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Orders, Bye-laws with respect to new streets and build- ings are in force over the whole District.

Seven notices to lime-wash were served during the year, and duly complied with. Eighty-four persons are registered as dairymen (or milk-sellers) in the district, and the Inspector reports 158 inspections of their premises during the year.

No instance of unemployment of a protected person in any
