The lairs and immediate surroundings of one slaughter
house at East Finchley were found to be in an insanitary
condition. The occupier was requested to entirely re-construct
the lairs, and to properly pave the yard surface adjoining the
slaughterhouse. This work was executed in due course, and
in addition, considerable structural alterations were carried
out in connection with the slaughterhouse.
DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS.
All the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops were inspected
periodically during the year, and were, generally speaking,
kept in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations
controlling these premises.
The drains of two dairies were found to be in a defective
condition, and entirely new systems of drainage were laid. In
one instance a new cowshed was erected and the old one disused.
Another cowshed was re-constructed and efficient means
of drainage provided, and the yard surface near one dairy was
properly paved.
There were five applications for Registration as Dairymen.
Cowkeepers or Purveyors of Milk. The premises were
inspected and found satisfactory, and the applications granted.
There are at present 21 Dairies and Milkshops, and 7
Cowsheds in the District.
HOUSES CLOSED AS UNFIT FOR HUMAN
HABITATION.
Four houses have been reported as being quite unfit for
human habitation owing to general dilapidations, excessive
dampness, defective drainage, etc. Two of these were closed
voluntarily by the owners, and still remain empty.
