necessary, notices have been served for cleansing,

COW AND SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
The Cow-houses and Slaughter-houses have from
time to time been inspected. After certain requirements
were complied with at two of the
cow-houses no objections were offered to the renewal
of any of the licences.
TEMPORARY SHELTER.
On the 5th February, 1900, the Vestry decided
to provide a temporary shelter for the accommodation
of persons displaced whilst their rooms
were being disinfected in accordance with the
Public Health (London) Act 1891, and land has
been secured for the purpose near the Town Hall.
The necessity for such a convenience has long
been felt. During the year 82 families, including
101 adults and 132 children, were so displaced, in
the majority of cases from model dwellings where
the rooms communicate directly with each other,
the whole family having to be turned out for the
purpose of effectual disinfection.
