SLAUGHTERHOUSES, COWSHEDS AND DAIRIES.—
There exist in the Borough 17 slaughterhouses, 14 cowsheds,
and 148 dairies. These have received periodical inspection.
With regard to slaughterhouses, licenses are granted by
the London County Council, and in no case was it necessary to
oppose their renewal.
In the case of a cowshed at Beckenham Place Farm it was
found necessary to oppose the renewal of the license, as the premises
were in such a condition as to be unfit for use.
FACTORY & WORKSHOP ACT, 1901.—There are 584
premises on our Register which contain 906 workrooms. These
have received frequent visits by the Inspector specially appointed.
The details of the work are set out in Table 30, from which it
will be seen that (excluding those employed in domestic workplaces)
648 men are employed in workshops, 1,469 women, and
382 young persons.
GENERAL INSPECTIONS.—The total number of premises
inspected within the Borough by the district and other sanitary
inspectors amounted to 5,653, and the re-inspections of work in
progress to 13,612. 1,695 intimation notices were served, and
828 statutory notices were ordered by your Council. With
regard to the latter, it was only found necessary to carry out the
order in 306 instances, the necessary works being commenced
