LICENSED COWHOUSES.
The three Licensed Cowhouses in the Parish were under
regular fortnightly inspection by the several Sanitary
Inspectors during last year. Before the annual inspection
of Cowhouses, I received two notices from cowkeepers of
their intention to apply for the renewal of their licences.
At my annual inspection I found that the premises were
in a satisfactory condition, and at the Special Sessions
of the London County Council, held on October the
29th, both of the licences were renewed without opposition
from your Vestry. Subsequent to October the
29th, I received a notice of an intention to apply at the
adjourned meeting of the Special Sessions for the renewal
of the licence for the other premises that had been previously
licensed. I visited the premises at Wormholt Farm, but
found that at the time of my visit no cows were being
kept there. Your Vestry took no action in reference to
the renewal of this licence, as no meeting intervened
between the notice and the adjourned Special Sessions.
At the adjourned Special Sessions of the London County
Council, the licence was refused.
The following is a List of the Licensed Cowhouses in
this Parish :—

BAKEHOUSES,
The whole of the bakehouses (63) in the Parish were
under a reqular quarterly inspection by the several
Sanitary Inspectors during last year. In 6 instances it
was reported that the premises were not in a proper
sanitary condition. Notices were served upon the bakers
calling upon them to comply with the regulations of
your Vestry. In each instance the notice was at once
complied with.
