Slaughter-houses. The six slaughter-houses in the Borough
have been inspected on 24 occasions by the Inspectors, when any
insanitary conditions noticed have speedily received attention.
The majority of these slaughter-houses are now only very occasionally
used, just sufficient in fact to keep the licenses in force.
