impracticable.
Side screens are used and as much protection is called for as

of each individual case.
No application has been received for the stamping of
carcases examined by the Sanitary Inspectors.
Licensed Slaughterhouses—At the annual licensing of
slaughterhouses in October, 1 received notices from seven
licensees of their intention to make application to the London
County Council for the renewal of their licences.
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 their
licences.
At the Special Session at the London County Council the
seven licences were granted.
I have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the time has
arrived when Public Abattoirs should be established so as to
make it possible for all the meat to be inspected before leaving
the slaughterhouse.

The Slaughterhouses are visited as often as possible.
The Dairies, Milkshops, Ice Cream Vendors, Restaurants
and Food Shops have been kept under systematic inspection
by your Inspectors.
