COW-HOUSES AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
These have been kept under constant observation. The new
bye-laws of the London County Council as to dung-pits have caused
some trouble and it has been necessary to oppose several of the
licenses at the sessions for non-compliance.
There are 11 licensed slaughter-houses and 24 cow-houses,
renewals for the whole of these were applied for at the Licensing
Meeting of the London County Council on Monday 29-10-94. The
following licenses were objected to :—
149, Brick Lane, Charles Knight.
Objection by Inspector of L.C.C.
Premises have not been used by Mr. Knight for a period of
more than twelve months, other persons are allowed to
slaughter cattle on the premises, and there appears to
be no necessity for a license being granted in respect of these
premises, as the shop is only opened to retail trade on Sunday
mornings.
The license was eventually granted with a stipulation that the
premises should be used by no one but the owner himself.
381, Cambridge Road, W. W. Burrows.
Stable not effectually separated from the cow-shed.
The work was completed before the hearing and the opposition
withdrawn.
95, Collingwood Street, J. Richards.
Dung receptacle erected contrary to bye-laws.
Opposition withdrawn on Mr. Richards discontinuing the use of
this dung pit and undertaking to provide a moveable receptacle.
216, Columbia Road, Messrs. Jones Bros.
Council Inspector objected on the ground that Shed No. 2
had not been occupied as a cow-shed since February, 1892.
The Vestry objected on the ground that the paving and
surface drainage of the sheds was defective and the ventilation
imperfect, also that a proper dung pit was required.
The whole of this work was completed before the hearing and,
as all opposition was withdrawn, the license was granted.
