Sanitarily, these 24 Slaughter-houses are in good condition,
and the chemical test, which was applied to the drains in each
case, failed to give a single result. Inspection of the Slaughterhouses
within the Borough is now carried out by the officers
of the Borough Council, who are responsible for the due
enforcement of all Bye-laws and Regulations made in pursuance
of the Slaughter-houses, etc. (Metropolis) Act, 1874, and the Local
Government Act, 1888—an important duty, which was formerly
carried out by the officers of the London County Council. During
1907 minor sanitary defects have been found as follows:—
defective paving (2), choked gully (1) and dirty premises (4).
One slaughter-house has changed hands during 1907, viz.: —
263 Brixton Road, which is now licensed to Ernest W. Snelling vice Albert Copp.
COWHOUSES.
There were, within the Borough of Lambeth, at the end of
1906, 14 registered Cowhouses, and at the Annual Licensing of
the London County Council, held on October 21st, 1907, the
licenses were renewed.
