inches in diameter without bends, to a height of not less

out the requirements of the bye-laws made by the London
County Council under the Public Health (London) Act,

TENEMENT HOUSE REGULATIONS.
The adoption of regulations as to houses let in lodgings was also
ft recommendation of the Royal Commissioners in 1888, and this
recommendation was one in which Messrs. Hilditch and Forrest, on
behalf of the Vestry, concurred. No action, however, was taken
until after the passing of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891,
which renders the making of these bye-laws compulsory.
Recently bye-laws were drawn up and agreed to by the Vestry,
these have been sanctioned by the Local Government Board, and
are now in force in the district; they only apply to registered
houses, but so far no houses have been placed on the register.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The eleven slaughter-houses in the Parish have been kept under
observation, and are in good condition. At the sessions in October
there were only ten applications for renewals, the owner of one
allowed his license to lapse. All the applications were successful.
COW-HOUSES.
Of the twenty-four licensed cow-houses, only twenty-two of the
owners applied in October for renewals, and three of these applications
were opposed on behalf of the London County Council.

The Cow house abuts on two dwelling houses, the dung
receptacle is inside the cow-house, and there is no proper
