to have this dual control done away with, by the Local Government
Board issuing a new Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
Order, applicable to London, and giving the control in this

Horse Slaughterer. The one horse-slaughtering premises
within the Borough has been visited by the Inspector on
31 occasions.
Other Scheduled Offensive Trades. The 63 other
promises where these offensive trades are carried on have been
kept under observation.
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order. At the
commencement of the year, there were 161 premises on the
Register of Dairies and Milkshops ; 29 new applications have
been received during the year, and no names have been taken off,
leaving a total of 190 premises now registered, and 275 visits of
inspection have been paid to these premises. One person was
prosecuted for carrying on the business of a milk purveyor without
being registered, as required by the regulations.
Ice Cream Premises. There were 118 premises known at
the commencement of the year where the manufacture of this
commodity was carried on, 5 have been added during the year,
and 7 taken off, leaving a total of 116 premises. These have
been inspected on 122 occasions, and whenever defects have
been found, they have received attention, which was the case on
4 premises. No proceedings have been taken in this connection.
