The above shows that Fulham can favourably compare with
the Metropolis at large.
SLAUGHTER-HOUSES, BAKE-HOUSES, AND COW-SHEDS.
Slaughter-homes.—These, eight in number, were personally
inspected by me and periodically by the sanitary inspectors. On
no occasion of my visiting them have I found anything of importance
to find fault with, and they have been favourably reported on
by your inspectors.
One slaughter-house has been established anew, "with the
full approval of your Vestry," by Mr. Boughton, of Hammersmith
Road. This is fitted with all the latest sanitary improvements.
Bake-houses.—These, 73 in number, have been all personally
inspected by me, and periodically by your sanitary inspectors.
I am sorry I cannot report as favourably on their condition as
on those of the slaughter-houses, as although in some instances
nothing could be more perfect, in others a great want of cleanliness
and neglect of the Bakehouse Regulations prevails.
In every instance, however, when served with notices, the
defects have been remedied, but in some instances only to recur.
Some of these cases will most likely be brought to the notice of
your Sanitary Committee before long.
Gowsheds.—These, 15 in number, have all been personally
inspected on more than one occasion, and periodically by your
inspectors.
During the year two have been abolished, viz.:—that belonging
to Mr O Connor, in Greyhound Road, and one to Mr. Beaumont,
in Seagrave Road.
One has been established anew in Stephendale Road by Mr.
Saunders, and another is proposed to be established in the rear of
Church Street, Fulham, by Mr. Green. It is questionable whether
the latter should be allowed, but the matter is still sub-judice.
