Licensed Slaughter-houses.
There are 12 licensed slaughter-houses in ray divisions. I have made 275
inspections; found the Regulations properly observed, the premises kept in a
cleanly and sanitary condition, and at no time have I found any animal
carcase or organs showing any signs of disease or unsoundness.
Licensed Cowhouses.
There are seven licensed cowhouses in ray district, 127 inspections were
made by me, the premises have been kept in accordance with the Regulations
and in a sanitary condition, and the animals were healthy and free from any
contagious disease.
Dairies and Milkshops.
394 inspections were made of these registered places throughout the
year. Only on one occasion did I find it necessary to report as to any
infringement of the regulations, viz., dirty measure. The Committee directed
a caution to be sent. The premises as a rule were well kept and in
accordance with the Regulations.
I am, Sir,
Yours, &c.,
J. Osborne.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I beg to report upon my duties as Food Inspector for the North
and East Divisions of the Borough from January to October, 1901:—
Slaughterhouses.—I made 264 visits to the 8 Licensed Slaughterhouses, and
found them to be maintained in a clean condition, and this is again borne out by
the fact that no complaint of a nuisance has been received in respect of these
premises.

The following were surrendered in writing: by the owner and destroyed as
trade refuse:—
The carcase and organs of a pig affected with generalised tuberculosis;
Three ox livers affected with abscesses.
Market Inspections.—1,407 visits were made to the market streets. The
costermongers having been removed from High Street, Camden Town, a
number of them have taken up stands at the west end of King Street, thus
adding to the number of market streets which require daily inspection.
