Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
These inspections were made chiefly on account of nuisances
and damp conditions reported to me by the Sanitary Inspectors,
and also to ascertain if any of these premises could be reported
to the Council under the Housing, Town Planning, &c., Act,
and also the By-laws as to Underground Rooms, made under
the above Act.
(8)—Special inspections were also made of the slaughterhouse
occupied by Messrs. Harrison, Barber & Co., for the new licence
to be granted by the London County Council for the slaughtering
on these premises of horses for human consumption.
The Inspector has on many occasions during the year
inspected these premises and reported that all the animals
examined by him were in good condition. The horse flesh is
not sold to retailers in this country but is exported to the Continent.
Including the house-to-house inspections and inspections
rfor certificates under the Revenue Act, but excluding the
routine inspection of bakehouses, slaughter-houses, cowsheds,
and offensive trade premises, 1,010 inspections were made of
premises, chiefly previous to the service of statutory notices.
My attendance at the Police Court was necessary on 14
occasions during the year.
Revenue Act.
During the year 14 certificates were granted under the above
Act, and four refused.
The certificates granted referred to 37 houses or 80 tenements,
and those refused to 12 houses or 29 tenements.
Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909.
All the house-to-house inspections during the year have again
been carried out under and for the purposes of Section 17 of this
Act, and the results of these inspections have been recorded on
the cards, particulars of which are given in the Report for 1910.
