Cowhouses. The four cowhouses in the Borough have been
visited on 14 occasions, and the required cleansing has been duly
enforced on 14 occasions.
Horse Slaughterer. The one horse-slaughtering house in
the Borough has been visited by the Inspector on 31 occasions,
and cleansing of the premises was required on 4 of these visits.
Other Scheduled Offensive Trades. The premises where
these offensive trades are carried on within the precincts of the
Foreign Animals Wharf have been visited occasionally, but, as
the supply of animals to that Wharf has been only of a very limited
character, the work carried on also has been almost nil.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops Order. At the commencement
of the year there were 173 premises on the Register
of Dairies and Milkshops; 9 new applications have been received
during the year and added to the Register, and 16 names have been
taken off, thus leaving a total of 166 premises now registered.
During the year 206 visits of inspection have been paid to these
premises; notices were served upon the occupiers in 24 cases, 7 of
which were for dirty premises generally, in 3 cases for dirty milk
vessels and utensils, 3 for proper coverings for milk receptacles,
and in 11 instances for general insanitary conditions.
Under the powers conferred by the London County Council
(General) Powers Act, 1908, Section 5, with respect to the registration
of premises unsuitable for the sale of milk, such registration
has been refused on the grounds of the unsuitability of the
premises in 7 cases.
Ice Cream Premises. There were 118 premises known at
the commencement of the year where the manufacture of this
commodity was carried on, 13 have been added during the year and
6 taken off, leaving a total of 125 premises. These premises were
inspected on 132 occasions, and improvements required either by
way of cleansing of the premises in 9 cases and remedying of sanitary
defects in 11 cases.
