The Butter and Margarine Act, 1907.
Section 1 of the above Act provides for the registration of
"butter factories," which are defined to be "any premises on which
by way of trade butter is blended, reworked or subjected to any
other treatment, but not so as to cease to be butter." One butter
factory was registered during the year.
Slaughter Houses.
There are five Slaughter houses in the Borough, and these have
been regularly inspected during the year, the number of inspections
made being 130.
On the 13th October, the annual inspection by the Public

opposition should be offered to any of the licenses.
The following is a list of the existing slaughter houses in the
Borough:—
40, England's Lane; 17, High Street; 69, High Street; 242,
Belsize Road ; 6, Fairfax Mews.
