Licensed Slaughterhouses.— At the annual licensing of
slaughterhouses in October, I received notices from seven
Licensees of their intention to make application to the London
County Council for the renewal of their Licenses.
In all cases these premises were found to be, as far as
your Council's requirements were concerned, in a satisfactory
condition. No opposition was offered to the renewal of the
licenses.
At the Special Session at the London County Council the
seven licenses were granted.
I can only repeat that I am of opinion that, although
these slaughterhouses are kept in a cleanly condition, the time
has arrived when public abattoirs should be established. By
so doing it would be possible to arrange for the whole of the
meat to be inspected before leaving the slaughterhouse. At
present the slaughterhouses are the subject of constant
inspection, but it is impossible to arrange for all the animals
killed to be examined.

The Dairies, Milkshops, Ice Cream Vendors, Restaurants
and Food Shops have been kept under systematic inspection
by your Inspectors.
