The premises at 351 York Road were licensed on the
following conditions, viz., " that small cattle only are
slaughtered at these premises, that the licensee does not sublet
the slaughter-house to any other person, and that not more
than 40 pigs are killed on the premises on any one day."
The number of slaughter-houses in Battersea is now 7 as
against 9 in 1901. The private slaughter-houses in London
generally are being gradually reduced to make way it is to be
hoped for public abattoirs.
Cow-houses.
A list of the cow-houses in the Borough is given below :-
14 Belle Vue Road.
122 Usk Road.
17 Wiseton Road.
The cow-houses were as usual visited by a subcommittee
of the Health Committee before the annual
licensing meeting, and it was decided not to oppose the renewal
of any of the licences.
Milk Shops.
Milk purveyors are now registered by the Borough
Councils instead of, as formerly, by the County Council. The
number on the register at the end of the year 1902 was 213,
and during 1903 21 traders removed and 33 others were
registered, making a total at the end of the year 0f'225. In
90 places milk and dairy produce only were sold, and in 135
cases the milk was sold in general shops and, usually, in small
quantities.
As regards the quantity of milk sold, the premises may
be arranged thus :—
Premises on which more than 10 imperial gallons are sold daily ... 61
„ „ between 10 and i „ „ „ ... 86
„ „ „ 1 and 1/4 „ ... 6
„ „ less than one quart is sold daily ... ... 11
In the remaining cases information as to the quantity
sold was refused.
The premises have been systematically inspected, and
any defects found remedied.
