The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical
inspection of the Slaughter-houses and the due enforcement
of all By-laws and Regulations, &c., made in connecnection
therewith, under the Slaughter-houses, &c.,
Metropolis Act, 1874, and the Local Government Act, 1888.
Such duties were carried out by the London County Council
previous to the passing of the Local Government Act, 1899.
During 1913, no action was required to be taken before
the Magistrate in regard to infringement of By-laws, but a
cautionary letter was sent to the occupier of the Slaughterhouse
at 120 High Street, West Norwood, drawing attention
to what the Inspector found at one of his usual inspections.
viz.: (1) garbage from previous slaughtering left in uncovered
receptacles, (2) the floor of the slaughter-house left
uncleansed on completion of the slaughtering, and (3) 13
sheep accommodated in the pound, which is 45½ square
feet in area.
