SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
There are six slaughterhouses in the Borough, to
which forty-seven visits have been paid by the Inspector.
On October the 5th all were visited by the Public
Health Committee, in view of the annual renewal of
the licences by the London County Council on October
31st.
The premises calling for special consideration were
the following:—
JAMES READ, 294, BETHNAL GREEN ROAD.
This slaughterhouse is clean and well kept, and there is no
objection to the slaughtering of sheep therein; but Mr. Read
frequently kills pigs. In view of the very limited lair space and
the close proximity of the neighbouring houses, it is doubtful if
this should be permitted therein. On Mr. Read undertaking to
limit the number of pigs killed, and promising not to keep the
animals upon the premises longer than was absolutely necessary,
it was decided to offer no opposition to the renewal of the licence.
