Cowsheds and Slaughterhouses.
Four notices were received for renewal of licences. The premises
were duly inspected regarding the cleansing limewashing and general
sanitary condition in accordance with the provisions of the dairy and
Cowsheds Order; any defects found to exist were remedied and limewashing
done before renewals of the licences were granted.
The slaughter houses have been frequently visited, often when
killing was in progress, and everything found satisfactory; limewashing
in each case has been done in compliance with the London County Council
Bye-laws.
The number of these premises now on the register is: cowsheds, 1;
slaughterhouses, 3; one cowshed has been closed since my last Annual
Report.

Legal Proceedings under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, and
Bye-laws.
In pursuance of the different orders of authorisation granted by the
Public Health and Housing Committee, it has not been found necessary
to institute legal proceedings in any case for the abatement of nuisances
and non-compliance with the London County Council's and Council's own
bye-laws, as the nuisances were satisfactorily abated.
