Times of Slaughtering.
Slaughtering occurred in the borough on all days of the week,
including Sunday, and took place at all times of the day ; as a
result, the work of inspection frequently had to be continued until
a late hour of the day, and also had to be performed on Public
Holidays and on Sundays.
Sanitation of Slaughter-houses and Knackers'-Yards.
With occasional exceptions the slaughter-houses and knackers'-yards
in use in the borough conformed to a reasonable standard
of cleanliness.
Application for Licences.
Ten applications were received for the renewal of slaughterhouse
licences, all of which were granted. Two applications
for the renewal of knackers'-yard licences were also received and
considered by the Public Health Committee. One of these was
granted. The other was refused on the ground that the premises
were not now suitable for use as a knackers'-yard.
Prosecutions.
Such infringements of the regulations and bye-laws as were
observed were remedied following verbal warnings or warning
letters, and thus no case was reported for the institution of legal
proceeding's.
