COW-HOUSES AND SLAUGHTER-HOUSES.
The Cow and Slaughter-houses that have been previously licensed
present no special feature for comment. They have been conducted in a
proper manner, and have been kept in good order throughout the year.
There have been several applications for new licences ; all the premises
have been visited by the Sanitary Committee, and the following is the
result:—
Robert Corbett, 152, Brick Lane, applied for a license for a Slaughterhouse
the premises are large, well built, ventilated, and properly
drained. It was resolved not to oppose, consequently the license was
granted.
Herman Burgin, 3, Burgin Terrace, Grove Road, applied for a license
for a Slaughter-house ; the premises were found to be unexceptionable,
and the license was granted.
Samuel Simonds, 21, Roman Road, applied for a license for a Slaughterhouse;
it was found, on visiting the premises, that there was no
building erected for the purpose, but that a portion of the yard had been
well paved and drained, and Mr. Simonds desired to kill there, merely
providing a temporary covering. This the Committee would not sanction,
consequently he was opposed until the adjourned session. He has since
erected a suitable building, and the license has been granted.
A license was sought for a Slaughter-house at 1, King Street, Viaduct
Street, by Philip Howes, baker, of Bethnal Green Road. A similar
application was made last year, but was refused. The opposition was
made not so much from the inadaptability of the premises, as from the
fear that if such license was granted the premises would be converted
into a piggery. This year the premises have been sot thoroughly in
order, and Mr. Howes, who has dealt in country produce for many years,
having assured the Committee that he will only have pigs on the premises
for the purpose of slaughtering, was not opposed, and the license was
granted.
There were five new applications for Cow-house licenses; they are as
follows:—
