INFLUENZA.
During last year 17 deaths were registered as due
primarily to "influenza" against 57 cases in the previous
year. Where request was made by inhabitants, disinfection
of premises was carried out, but otherwise no
official action was taken in reference to this disease.
LICENSED SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
The whole of the 17 licensed slaughter houses in the
Parish were under regular fortnightly inspection by the
several Sanitary Inspectors during last year. At the
annual inspection of slaughter houses in October, 1893,
I found that all of them were in a satisfactory condition.
At the Special Sessions of the London County Council
for Licensing, held on the 23rd of October, the whole
of the 17 licenses were granted without opposition from
your Vestry.
LICENSED COW-HOUSES.
The whole of the 3 licensed cow-houses in the
Parish were under regular fortnightly inspection by the
several Sanitary Inspectors during last year. At the
annual inspection of cow-houses in October, 1893, I
found 2 of them in a satisfactory condition, but in the
other case, that in Glenthorne Road, I found that the
dung pit was out of repair and required re-cementing.
Your Vestry gave notice to the cow-keeper that you
would oppose his application for a license unless he
properly repaired the dung pit. At the meeting of the
Special Sessions of the London County Council held on
October the 23rd, the requirements of your Vestry having
been complied with no opposition was offered to the
renewal of the license, and the licenses applied for were
granted.
BAKEHOUSES.
The whole of the bakehouses (63) in the Parish were
under a regular quarterly inspection by the several Sanitary
Inspectors during last year. In 9 instances it was
reported that the premises were not in a proper sanitary
