Further that, though in connection with this work the activities of the department
have increased rather than decreased, seizures have become fewer year by
year, is evidence enough that the work has had an effect.
That there was justification for the determination of the Council was never
doubted: it is interesting, however, to be able to produce such evidence as is given
here to show how great that justification was.
SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
There is no call for any special comment with regard to the work done in
relation to the slaughterhouses in the Borough during 1913. A complete list of the
premises used for the purpose of slaughtering animals for food of man and the
conditions under which the licences are granted by the London County Council
is given below.
Each was regularly and frequently visited and no condition calling for the
service of notice was discovered.

178, Edgware Road Nil.
4, Henry Street, St. John's Wood Small cattle only.
50, Henry Street, St. John's Wood Small cattle only.

MILK SUPPLY.
Cowhouses.—No objection was offered to the renewal in 1913 of any of the
licenses granted by the London County Council with regard to cowhouses, the
number—5—therefore remains the same as in 1912.

Inspections were regularly and frequently made throughout the year. In no
case were conditions regarding which it was necessary to serve notices discovered.
