Opposition was made on behalf of the Vestry to the renewal
of two slaughter-house licenses; in one case, upon the grounds
that the conditions of the license that pigs only be slaughtered
had not been complied with inasmuch as cattle had been dealt
with, and further, that the London County Council's bye-laws
had not been observed at the time the Sub-Committee visited the
premises. In this instance, the Council refused to renew the
license.
In the second case, the license was renewed subject to not
more than forty pigs being slaughtered in one day, and such
portion only of the premises that is licensed being used for the
conduct of the business.
There are therefore now only 8 cow-houses and 9 slaughterhouses
licensed in the parish which is, no doubt, a step in the
direction of the provision of public abattoirs.
Public-house
Urinals.
The urinals were inspected in three hundred and
sixty-seven instances, and in fifty-eight were altered,
repaired or had water laid on.
In July, in consequence of numerous complaints as to the
insufficient flushing of the urinals, and the consequent nuisance
arising therefrom, the following notice was served, with good
effect, upon the occupiers of all premisesin which urinals were
situate and accessible to the public:
The Vestry of the Parish of St. Mary, Battersea.
To the Occupier of.
The Vestry, as the Sanitary Authority, request
that you will be good enough to arrange that the urinal
to which the public have access, situate at your
premises, may be regularly flushed with disinfectants
during hot weather in order to avoid nuisance.
By Order.
