has been registered under Section 69 of the Public Health Acts Amendment
Act, 1907, as keeper for one year from February, 1919.
3.—Houses Let in Lodgings. The bye-laws were revised and sealed
by the Council in September., 1906. A large number of houses come within
their scope.
4.—Slaughterhouses. There are five on the register, one on the old
terms. In January, 1918, the licence of N. A. Barrett, of 188, Fore Street,
was renewed for another three years. In April, 1919; the licences of Howes,
19, The Green, and Chester, 3, The Green, were granted for one year. In
May the licence of E. Knifton's slaughterhouse was renewed for a year.
5.—Pigs. The Public Health Committee granted permission to keep
pigs in February to Mr. Fores, 27, Rays Road; Shipman, 150, St. Mary's
Gardens; and J. Holly, 12, Pretoria Road. In October permission was
granted to Mr. Hussey, of Firs Lane, for keeping 20 pigs; but in the same month
Mr. Richardson was not permitted to keep pigs in Bury Street. On May 27th,
the Plans Committee recommended that the agreement with Mr. Fairey be
renewed. In October, this Committee recommended a renewal of the agreement
to keep six pigs by Mr. Bell, St. Mary's Gardens, and, in November,
they recommended the renewal of Mr. Faulkner's for six pigstyes. The Park
Committee recommended, in November, that the tenant of plot 21 in Weir
Hall allotments be allowed to keep a few pigs.
It seems strange that no less than three Committees were dealing with
pigstyes, and it is my opinion that the whole subject should be dealt with by
one Committee, namely, the Public Health Committee, whether new styes or
old ones are being considered.
In October, the Tottenham Council complained of nuisances reported by
residents in North Tottenham alleged to arise from the boiling of food for
pigs at Knifton's in Langhedge Lane.
In December, two persons were found to be slaughtering pigs in
unlicensed premises; they were warned by the Clerk.
6—Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops. There are only two cowkeepers
now in the district, the same as the last three years; and about 25
cows are owned by these keepers. Veterinary inspection of the cows is not
undertaken in this district, either by my Council or the County Council.
There were 62 purveyors of milk in our register at the end of the year.
In November, the Public Health Committee recommended that legal
proceedings be taken against a person for keeping cows in Cuckoo Hall Lane
without having registered, as required by Section 7 (2) of the Dairies, Cowsheds
and Milkshops Order, 1885.
