17. Upon receipt of such notice the Inspector shall, with
    the least possible delay, make a fresh inspection.

18. In case the dairyman’s notice shall be to the effect
    stated in Regulation 16, (b), the Inspector shall be accompanied by a veterinary surgeon, and they shall jointly inspect
    such cattle. The dairyman shall be notified by the Inspector
    of such proposed inspection at least twenty-four hours prior
    thereto, and he shall be entitled to attend such inspection
    with a veterinary surgeon, and confer as to the health and
    condition of the cattle. Within twenty-four hours after
    making such inspection the veterinary surgeon accompanying
    the Inspector shall notify him in writing whether any,
    and, if so, which, of the said cattle are suffering from any,
    and, if so, what, disease. Should the cattle be found to be
    diseased, the fee of the veterinary surgeon appointed by the
    Local Board shall be paid by the owner of such cattle. A
    qualified veterinary surgeon, at a fixed scale of fees, may
    be appointed for all purposes of inspection under these
    regulations by the Local Board; and in case of sickness or
    permitted absence at any time of the veterinary surgeon so
    appointed, the Mayor of the Local Board may by writing
    under his hand temporarily appoint a duly-qualified substitute.

19. The decision of the veterinary surgeon appointed by
    the Local Board shall be final, and, if his notice shall render
    it necessary, the Inspector shall serve upon the dairyman an
    amended notice in pursuance thereof.

20. At any time after receipt of such last-mentioned
    notice such dairyman may notify the Inspector that the
    requisitions thereof have been complied with, and the Inspector shall thereupon make a further inspection: Provided always that the Inspector shall not be compellable to
    inspect any dairy premises more than three times in any
    one month or four times in any two months.

21. If and so soon as it shall be made to appear to the
    Inspector from any inspection, or from any such notice of
    the veterinary surgeon accompanying him, that the requisitions (if any) which shall have been made have been complied with, or have from any cause whatever become undesirable or unnecessary, and that the danger to the public health
    has ceased to exist, he shall thereupon cancel his certificate,
    and shall immediately transmit to the said dairyman a notice
    in writing to that effect signed by him. Such notice shall
    be in the Form D in the Schedule hereto.

Construction, &c., and Water-supply of Dairies, Cow-
sheds, &c.

22. It shall not be lawful for any person following the
    trade of dairyman to begin to occupy as a dairy or cowshed
    any building not so occupied at the commencement of these
    regulations, except in compliance with the following provisions.

23. Every such person shall, either before or after the
    completion of such new building, notify the Inspector in
    writing—

(a.) His intention to occupy such building as a cow-
shed or as a dairy;

(b.) The dimensions of such building, and the pro-
visions made for lighting, ventilating, cleansing,
and draining the same.

24. The Inspector shall, as soon as possible, but within one
    week of receipt of such notice, and either after or without
    inspecting the said building, if in his opinion the circumstances so require, notify such person that the construction,
    or the use proposed to be made, or the contemplated occupation of the building so constructed or proposed to be constructed, is objectionable, as being contrary in some respect
    to some or one of these regulations, or conducive to an
    unsanitary condition, or likely to endanger the public
    health. And the Inspector shall in such notice specify by
    what means the objection or objections to such building or
    such proposed use or occupation thereof may be removed or
    done away with.

25. If the Inspector shall notify the applicant in writing
    that the construction, or the use proposed to be made, or the
    contemplated occupation of the building so constructed,
    does not appear to be objectionable, or if the Inspector shall
    for one month fail or omit to give any notice under Regulation 24, the applicant shall be entitled to be registered
    in accordance with these regulations in respect of such
    building.

26. It shall not be lawful for any person to use or occupy
    such building unless and until he shall have complied with
    such notice (if any), and received a certificate under Regulation 6. Neither the failure or omission by the Inspector to
    give any notice, nor the giving of any such notice as is mentioned in Regulation 25, shall be deemed to preclude any
    proceedings being taken against any such person under these
    regulations or otherwise in respect of such buildings, or the
    use or occupation thereof.

27. It shall not be lawful for any person following the
    trade of dairyman to occupy or use as a dairy or cowshed
    any building, whether so occupied or used at the commencement of these regulations or not, if and so long as the con-

struction, lighting, and ventilation, including air-space, and
the cleansing, drainage, and water-supply thereof, are not in
conformity with the requirements of these regulations:

(a.) In every cowshed the available air-space for each
milking bail, or for each cow, ox, bull, or calf
stalled there, as the case may be, shall be not less

stalled all night, when the space shall be not less
than 500 cubic feet.

(b.) The ground-space of every such cowshed, including
the stalls, shall be floored to the satisfaction of
the Inspector, and shall be constructed with open
drains or gutters running the whole length thereof
along and immediately behind the stalls.

(c.) Every dairy shall be lighted, ventilated, and cleansed
to the satisfaction of the Inspector, and if necessary
lime-washed.

(d.) Every cowshed shall be lighted, ventilated, and
cleansed to the satisfaction of the Inspector.

(e.) Every such cowshed, and all the internal fittings of
every such cowshed other than the floor and roof,
shall be coated in a good, proper, and workman-like manner with a sufficient coating of lime
whitewash, and shall be recoated in a similar
manner at intervals not exceeding twelve months.

(f.) All droppings, manure, excrement, filth, and other
impurities or offensive matter shall be scraped,
swept, or otherwise collected together and removed, otherwise than by the use of water, from
all cowsheds-in the case of cowsheds used merely
for the daily milking of cattle, daily; and in the
case of all other cowsheds, at intervals throughout
the day.

(g.) The entire ground-space of every such cowshed and
of every such dairy shall also, whenever so required by the Inspector, be thoroughly washed
over and cleansed with water.

(h.) Every such cowshed and dairy shall be well and
properly drained, to the satisfaction of the Inspector.

No such dairy shall drain into any cesspool
into which any offensive matter from any other
building shall be discharged, or directly into any
sewer, unless such sewer be properly trapped to
the satisfaction of the Inspector.

(i.) All dairy premises shall be supplied, to the satisfaction of the Inspector, by means of pipes or
otherwise, with a supply of clear and pure water,
sufficient for all purposes of watering the cattle
stalled or milked there, for cleansing the milk-vessels as prescribed in these regulations, and for
all other reasonable and necessary purposes.

(j.) If the Inspector shall at any time consider that the
water of any well or coming from any other source
in or upon any dairy premises, or used therein,
or that the food supplied to the cattle in or upon
any dairy premises, is unfit for use, he may, by
notice in writing to that effect, signed by him,
call upon the dairyman to fence up or close such
well or other source and all means of access to
the same, or to abstain from using any water
coming therefrom in or upon such dairy premises
for all or any of the purposes connected therewith,
and also to abstain from using such food. Such
notice shall be in the Form E in the Schedule
hereto.

(k.) Immediately on the receipt of such notice, the
dairyman shall proceed to comply with the requisitions thereof, and during the continuance of
the same it shall be unlawful for him to act in
contravention thereof.

28. (a.) It shall not be lawful for any person following
    the trade of milk-vendor to occupy as a milk-shop
    or store any building except in conformity with
    the provisions of this regulation.

(b.) Every such milk-shop or store shall be lighted,
ventilated, and cleansed to the satisfaction of the
Inspector.

(c.) The floor and all internal fittings of every such
milk-shop and milk-store shall be thoroughly swept
or dusted and cleaned at least once in every twenty-four hours, and shall also be thoroughly scoured
and cleansed with hot water at least once in every
week.

(d.) No person shall have, sell, keep, whether for sale
or otherwise, or permit to remain within any such
milk-shop or milk-store any articles or class of
articles of a character likely to endanger the purity
of the milk there, or the sale or keeping therein
of which may have been prohibited by the Inspector
by notice in writing.

29. All vessels whatsoever used in or about any dairy,
    cowshed, milk-shop or store, and whether for receiving
    or storing or in the distribution of milk, shall be thoroughly
    cleansed
