Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The new slaughterhouse licensed by the London County Council
was for slaughtering horses for human food. During the year
93 horses have been slaughtered on the premises and all were
exported.
During the year 329 inspections were made of these, but it
was only necessary to serve six notices for cleansing. The usual
cleansing was carried out by the occupiers at the proper times. I
have inspected all the slaughter-houses during the year, and I am
able to report that the By-laws have been observed.
During the year the Inspectors inspected the carcases of 336
cattle, 2,862 sheep, 290 pigs, and 13 calves in Slaughter-houses
and Butchers' Shops, and reported that these were all sound when
exposed for sale.
