In one case the renewal of a slaughter house license was again
opposed by the L.C.C. inspector, because the pigs must be taken
through the shop to the slaughter house. The L.C.C. Licensing
Committee, however, granted the renewal.
The slaughter houses have been visited at night time when
killing has been in progress, and the animals examined, but nothing
out of the way was discovered.
I am glad to say every facility has been given me for these
inspections.

Canal Boats Arts.
Canal boats have been boarded and inspected as often as opportunities
were presented. These numbered 26 registered boats,
and about 12 unregistered sailing barges. On two occasions I
endorsed notices served by the Canal Boat Inspectors of rural
districts, viz.—Uxbridge and Newport Pagnell, requiring certain
work to be done to the boats "Stort" and "Kennet," to stop the
tar liquor getting into the cabins. The work was done at times of
my inspections in a satisfactory manner, and the counterparts of
the notices were returned to the authorities.
Overcrowding.—No overcrowding was discovered on any boat,
although on a report received, one boat was watched for and
boarded, when the report was proved to be unfounded.
Utensils.—These were at all times found to be in first-class
condition and very clean.
The pumps, bulkheads, ventilators, etc., were found invariably
in good working order.
