Slaughter Houses.
There are 29 Slaughter Houses in the Borough, of which
11 are registered and lb are annually licensed. During the
year 674 visits were paid by Sanitary Inspectors, but it was not
found necessary to serve any Sanitary Notices.
Abatement of Nuisances.
In regard to the number of notices served in connection
with the abatement of nuisances it should be borne in mind
that a big percentage of the notices are served in respect to a
certain class of house, and that there is in this Borough a very
considerable amount of property of such a nature as to be in
constant need of repair, and where it frequently happens that no
sooner is one Sanitary Notice complied with than it becomes
necessary to serve a further notice on the same premises concerning
a recently arisen nuisance. There is little doubt that
nothing short of the actual abolition of property of this type will
prove of lasting avail.
Overcrowding continues to be acute, and while there is
the present shortage of accommodation little can be done to
alleviate this very deplorable condition.
In my next Report I propose to show the number of Sanitary
Notices served, allocated to the 26 wards of the Borough.
