A.—BUSINESS PREMISES.
Milk Premises.—The number of premises upon which milk is sold is 123.
This is 10 more than in 1930, 16 having been added and (5 removed.
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.L
No conditions are attached to the licence and the amount of slaughtering now
done is comparatively small : during the year only 30 sheep, f> lambs and one
bullock were dealt with.
Humane killers, in accordance with the requirements of the L.C.C. by-laws,
are being used in this slaughter house, and apparently with complete success.
