SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
There were 22 Slaughter-houses and one Knacker's Yard on the
Register in 1904, and no change occurred during 1905.
During the year 318 inspections were made of these, but it was
only necessary to serve one notice for cleansing. The usual cleansing
was carried out by the occupiers at the proper times.
During the year the Inspectors inspected the carcasses of 133
cattle, 805 sheep, and 54 pigs in Slaughter-houses. On one occasion
the Inspector referred the examination of some carcasses to me.
The following list shows the number of Slaughter-houses licensed
by the London County Council in October, 1905:—
