Sanitarily, these 20 Slaughter-houses are in good condition,
and the chemical test, which was applied to the
drains in each case, gave no result. Inspection of the
Slaughter-houses within the Borough is now carried out
by the officers of the Borough Council, who arc responsible
for the due enforcement of all By-laws and Regulations
made in pursuance of the Slaughter-houses, etc. (Metropolis)
Act, 1874, and the Local Government Act, 1888—an important
duty which was formerly carried out by the officers
ot the London County Council. During 1910, minor sanitary
defects have been found as follows:—defective
paving (1), dirty premises (1), defective roof and gutters
(1), and defective pound floor (1).
Four Slaughter-houses have changed hands during 1910,
viz.: 18 Paradise Road (rear of) to Mr. Edwin Elphick
(vice Mr. William George Smith); Industry Terrace (yard
leading to) Canterbury Road to Mrs. Emma Sanders
Warren (vice Mr. James Edward Warren); 120 High
Street, West Norwood, to Mr. Frederick Griffiths (vice
Mrs. Mary Ann Bull); 309 Coldharbour Lane to Mr. John
Salter Cox as the Managing Director of Messrs. H. Ford
