that with few exceptions, in which they ordered notices to be
served, the respective premises were in good and cleanly
condition.
In the case of the cow-house situate at' No. 42 Linda
Street, in view of the facts that no cows had been kept upon
the premises for the preceding six months and that the premises
were found to be in a very dilapidated condition, it was
decided to oppose the renewal of the license, which was
successful, the remaining licenses being renewed. There are
now nine slaughter-houses and six cow-houses duly licensed
in the Parish, which are as follows:—
Slaughter-houses.

Upon the recommendation of the Health Committee, the
Vestry, on the nth October, 1899, decided to address a
communication to the London County Council, urging the
provision of public abattoirs in substitution for private
slaughter-houses.
In regard to cow-houses, the London County Council
intimate their intention of requiring that in the granting of new
licences, the recommendations of the Royal Commission
concerning their construction will be rigidly adhered to.
