INSPECTOR WILKINSON'S REPORT.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Upper Street, N.
June 16th, 1915.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Dear Sir,—
I have pleasure in submitting the following report on my duties for the year 1914:—
Slaughterhouses.—There were 27 slaughterhouses on the register during the greater part of
the year, but at the Annual Licensing Session of the L.C.C. in October last the renewal of the
licence of premises at the rear of 576, Holloway Road, was refused because the premises had not
been used for that purpose for a period of nine months.
