Premises. Conditions.
50, Henry Street, St. John's Wood Small cattle only.
134, High Street, St. John's Wood On the clear and distinct understanding
that the room over
the slaughter house is not
used as a living room.
32a, Union Street, Middlesex Hospital Nil.
All these places were regularly and frequently visited during the year. In
no case was objection raised to the renewal of licence after receipt of notice from
the County Council that application for renewal had been made. The amount of
slaughtering now done is comparatively small.
Humane killers, in accordance with the requirements of the L.C.C. by-laws,
are being used in every case, and apparently with complete success.
Offensive Trades.—There are only two premises within the borough upon
which trades classed as offensive are carried on. The business in each case is
that of tripe boiling.
The Food Inspector made 53 visits, but no cause for complaint was found.
Ice Cream Premises.—The number of such premises in the borough on the
Register is 120.
Regular inspections were made throughout 1924, and in 16 cases notices
were served in respect of uncleanly conditions.
Butter, Margarine, etc., Premises.—Information with regard to the sampling
of these substances will be found under the heading, " Sale of Food and Drugs
Acts."
At the end of the year there were on the registers 13 dealers in margarine,
1 wholesale dealer in butter and milk-blended butter, and butter manufacturers.
All the registered premises were frequently visited.
Bakehouses.—At the end of 1924 the number of bakehouses on the register
was 67, 1 underground bakehouse having been removed. Of the 67, 61 are underground
bakehouses.
In all, 156 visits were paid and 10 notices served.
In accordance with the requirements of the Factory and Workshop Act, 1901,
notices calling for the limewashing, etc., of the inside walls and other parts of the
bakehouses were issued. It was not necessary to institute proceedings to enforce
compliance with any notice.
Fried Fish Vendors and Fish Curers.—The number of premises in the borough
used by vendors of fried fish is 24 and by fish curers 5.
Notices calling for periodical lime-washing, etc., of such premises as required
by the By-laws of the London County Council, made under Section 9 of the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, were issued, and regular
visits of inspection made and action taken where necessary to have any defects
noted remedied.
Factories and Workshops.
Though factories are comparatively few in the borough, the number of workshops,
many of them domestic workshops, is considerable, and work in relation
to them bulks very large amongst the duties of the district inspectors, more
especially those in charge of districts on the south of Marylebone Road. The
staple industry is dressmaking, millinery and tailoring in all its branches.
