A.—BUSINESS PREMISES.
Milk Premises.—The number of premises upon which milk is sold is 107.
This is 2 less than in 1927, 7 having been added and 9 removed; in 1914 there
were 237 on the register.
Cow Sheds.—The only cow shed remaining in the borough is situated at 42a,
Clipstone Street, and is licensed for 10 cows. The reasons underlying its existence
and continuance have in previous reports been given.
During the year regular and frequent visits of inspection were made and
attention directed at the time to any matters that seemed to require it. The need
for serving notices did not arise.
Slaughter Houses.—At the moment the only slaughter house in the Borough
is that at 32a, Union Street, W.l, which is held by Mr. E. J. Barclay, of 70,
Great Titchfield Street, W. 1.
No conditions are attached to the licence and the amount of slaughtering now
done is comparatively small : during the year only 53 sheep, 9 lambs, and 1 bullock
were dealt with.
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 three premises within the borough upon
which trades classed as offensive" are carried on. The business in two cases is
that of tripe boiling, afid in the remaining one that of poultry slaughtering'.
