The protection of meat and the provision of glass fronts
to shops has been a question to which some careful study
has been given, as it is not possible to deal with stalls
and shops on the same lines.
In most cases the owners of butcher shops have readily
complied with the suggestions made for the protection of
the meat, but in the case of stalls, the provision of glass
fronts is impracticable.
Side screens are used and as much protection is called
for as is considered reasonable, due regard being paid to
the circumstances 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, I received notices from seven
licensees of their intention to make application to the
London County Council for the renewal of their licences.
At the Special Session at the London County Council
the licences were granted.
