Slaughterhouses.
There are four slaughterhouses in the Borough, situated as
follows:—40, England's Lane; 17, High Street; 69, High Street; 6
Fairfax Mews.
The slaughterhouses were regularly inspected during the year, the
number of inspections being 59.
In December it was found that, the quarterly lime-washing had not
been carried out, and that at one slaughterhouse the offal was left in
uncovered receptacles. Notices were served, and the necessary work
was carried out by the end of the month.
The number of slaughterhouses in 1909 was five, including one at
242, Belsize Road, but the occupier of this slaughterhouse having been
convicted in January, 1910, of a contravention of the London County
Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, decided to discontinue the use of
the premises as a slaughterhouse, and did not apply for the renewal
of his licence.
In 1899 there were 7 slaughterhouses in Hampstead, and the
number at the present time is only 4. A similar reduction in the
number of slaughterhouses has taken place in the other parts of London,
the total number in the County having fallen from 411 in 1899 to 264
in 1909.
Milk Supply.
The number of persons registered as purveyors of milk at the end
of 1910 was 85, and the number of premises on which milk is sold was
107. The difference in the two numbers was accounted for by the fact
that some of the milksellers occupy more than one shop.
