The above 41 slaughter-houses have been inspected during the
year, and defects (when found) remedied—the test being applied
in each case to the drains. The necessity for frequent inspection
of these slaughter-houses is shewn by the following list of
defects that were found, though the small number of such defects
is cause for congratulation, as showing the satisfactory condition
in which the Lambeth slaughter-houses have been found during
the year:—
Dirty Premises 11
Defective Roof 1
Defective Flushing Cistern 1
Dilapidated Dung Pit 1
Defective Gully 1
Defective Paving 3
In 27 of the slaughter-houses no sanitary defects were discovered,
whilst the general condition of the premises in all was
found to be satisfactory. In no single instance was a result
obtained from the drain test, though in two slaughter-houses (10,
Foxley Road, and 97, Stockwell Road) the drains were voluntarily
relaid.
