REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
Local Board of Health Regulations, Chapter 1, governs the Keeping of Animals
for both commercial and private uses. To ensure compliance with the
local regulations, Animal Inspector Dr. Morton Wolf inspected the three commercial
stables in Milton. The inspections assess cleanliness and sanitation,
bedding supplies for the animals, food storage practices, and most importantly,
monitor the manure storage and handling. The inspections are critical to avoid
the creation of nuisance conditions and breeding grounds for rodents and other
pests.
