![s and drained; another one there still needs this, and he was told to remove pigs from cowshed, which was attend_^ed to. At Whitton, cowsheds now in good order, as at Walk Low Hall. Slaughter Houses exist at Thropton and Ijong Fram- lington. These I found tidy and in a sanitary condition. That at Whittingham necessitated a caution. I have not seen any unsound meat, noi* has my attention been called to any. Your Board has no special meat inspector. The Schools and Scholars are regularly and systemati- claly inspected by the County Council Medical Officer for schools (Dr. Burrows), and I have inspected the following:— Elsdon, Long Framlington, and Hepxjle all correct; Whit¬ tingham, slight piece of broken rain spout; Lee School, the Avater supply aa as not satisfactory, the tank at the head Avas cleaned out and some of the piping, this has greatly improved matters. At Harbottle, the boys’ urinal needed better flush¬ ing arrangements and drainage. At Thropton, a goo 1 deal is required. The Special Districts attended to by your Inspector and myself aa ere : Whittingham, Sharperton, Charity Hall, Harbottle, AlAAonton, and Tiong Framlington. At Whittinghaai, the drain opening into the stream at the AA'est end needs carrying further down and away from the cottages and roadside. The priA-y midden of Johnson and (xibb needed attention. A ])ortion ot‘ the spouting at schools needed mending. Scott’s slaughter house was not very tidy and they Avere cautioned. A new privy midden has been built; one of these was too full and emptied after notice. The blacksmith’s t)remises, etc., Avere in a sanitary condition. At Fslington West Cottage, the stable and byre needed at- t(mti()n as to drainages](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30041880_0008.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
