The Borough Council is now responsible for the periodical
inspection of the Cowhouses, and the due enforcement of all By-laws
and Regulations made in connection therewith, under the Dairies,
Cowsheds and Milkshops Orders, 1885, 1886, and 1899 Such duties
were carried out by the London County Council previous to the
passing of the Local Government Act, 1899. During 1914 no action
was required to be taken before the Magistrate in regard to infringements
of the By-laws, but a cautionary letter was addressed to the
occupier of the cowshed at 6, Coral Street, drawing attention to the
unsatisfactory manner in which the manure was being dealt with on
several occasions when the Inspector called, the dung being deposited
in a cage inside instead of outside the cowhouse.
During 1914 there were the following changes of licensees:—
(a) 34, Ingleton Street—Frederick Baker vice Sarah
Amelia and Frederick Baker.
(b) 76 and 78, Gipsy Hill—Frederick William French vice
James Thomas French.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
There were within the Borough, at the end of 1913, 17 registered
Slaughter-houses, and at the Annual Licensing of the London
County Council, held on October 26th and December 10th, 1914,
the licenses were renewed.
