adjoining dwelling house, and such wall must be of
brick, stone or concrete. Similarly, the requirement
that a water-closet must not open into or ventilate
into a slaughterhouse will in many cases necessitate
the removal of such water-closet or the building of a
wall, for it is obvious that the open side of a slaughterhouse
should be removed some six feet from a watercloset
to prevent any effluvium from blowing into the
slaughterhouse, unless such effluvium is intercepted by
a wall. In one case a dwelling-room was found to be
directly communicating with a slaughterhouse. After
a period of two years' grace, the inner surface of
doors, walls and woodwork are to be rendered up to a
height of six feet with cement or other impervious
material. It will, I think, be found difficult for the
occupiers of many of the slaughterhouses to comply
with the structural requirements of the by-laws and
with the London Building Act as well, and this must
result in the closing of certain premises for the purpose
of poultry slaughtering.
