I have observed myself, however, that at times a most
offensive odour was emitted from the windows of the
stable.
LICENSED SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
The whole of the 12 licensed slaughter houses in
the Borough were under regular fortnightly inspection
by the Inspector for offensive trades. At the annual
inspection of slaughter houses in October, 1902, I had
received notices that 12 licenses were to be applied for.
Eight of them were found to be, as far as your Council's
requirements were concerned, in a satisfactory condition.
With reference to the remaining four—at No. 35,
Queen Street, the paving of the yard abutting upon the
slaughter-house was defective; at 65, King Street, part
of the paving outside the dung pit was defective;
at 158, King Street, the walls of the pound were dirty;
and at 247, Goldhawk Road, tbe paving outside the
slaughter-house, and the paving of the passage leading
to the same were defective. Your Council required the
applicants to remedy these defects, and gave notice of
the same to the London County Council. The licensees
complied with your requirements and at the Special
Sessions, at the London County Council, held in
October, the 12 licenses were granted without opposition
by your Council.
