REPORT ON DAIRIES.
The Dairy Inspector (Mr Wilkinson) reported to the Borough Council last night : — " Since last meeting I have been busy inspecting the dairies of those persons who supply milk to town. Contrary to expectations, I found that the dairymen had a fair supply of water. Notwithstanding the dry weather, the cattle are healthy and in fair condition. I have tested samples of milk from each dairy, and on the whole the milk is of fair quality and a great improvement on that tested by me when I commenced the duties of inspector. Ihe majority of the dairymen have had rotators erected, Mr 801 l haviDg a refrigerator in addition. The improved quality of the milk is in a great measure due to the use of the terators. In one instance I ordered a cow suffering from disease to be destroyed. Thirteen dairymen deliver milk in town, the number of cows milked by them being as follow : Mr Liddle 7, Mr Bell 29, Mr Hiekey 14, Mr Goldie 19, Mr Goldsmith 15, Mr Sandlant 10, Mr Mazengarb 24, Mr Maxwell 18, Mr Stephen- I son 23, Mr Maofarlane 18, Mr Baty 15, Mr Willoughby 26, Mr Buchanan 12 ; total 230, as against 180 last year, being an increase of 50."
The Mayor said the report was very satis 1 iactory.
