NUISANCE AT THE ROAD CAR COMPANY'S STABLES,
HAMMERSMITH ROAD.
During last year no complaint was received in
reference to the nuisance from the premises of the Road
Car Company in the Hammersmith Road, but I have, at
times, noticed a very offensive odour emitted from the
windows of the stables abutting on the main road.
LICENSED SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
The whole of the 16 licensed slaughter houses in the
Parish were under regular fortnightly inspection by the
four District Inspectors. At the annual inspection of
slaughter houses in October, 1898, I had received notices
that 16 licenses were to be applied for. They were all
reported as far as your Vestry's requirements are concerned,
to be in a satisfactory condition. At the Special
Sessions at the London County Council, held 24th
October, 15 licenses were granted without opposition by
your Vestry. The remaining one was refused being
opposed by the inspector of the London County Council.
