Slaughter Houses.
Under the London Government Act, 1899, the duty of
inspecting slaughter-houses, cow-houses and milk-shops was
transferred from the London County Council to the Borough
Councils.
The slaughter-houses are frequently inspected by the Food
Inspector. They are generally kept in a clean condition, and

205 St. John's Hill. 345 Battersea Park Road.
163 St. John's Hill. 235 Battersea Park Road
351 York Road.

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 and slaughter-houses were visited by a
sub-committee 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.
In 1904 the Milk-shops were supervised by Inspector
Benjamin. The number of milk-shops on the register at the
end of 1903 was 225; during 1904, 43 new milk-shops were
added and the use of 22 discontinued, the total number at the
end of 1904 being 246. In 150 instances milk was sold in
general shops; in 74, in shops where only dairy produce was
