SIXTY-NINTH REPORT.
Gentlemen,
Fourtren Batchers have applied to the Vestry for license???
Slaughterhouses. Of that number eleven ask for the renewal of lice???
already granted, the other three are fresh applicants. To the forma???
objection can be made, as their slaughterhouses are in the same state???
last year. I shall, therefore, limit my observations to the f???
applicants.
The first is a pork butcher named Haarer, 353, Rotherhithe W???
The proposed slaughterhouse is at the back of the house on a level ???
the yard, but below that of the street, and appears to have b???
originally a wash-house. The floor is stone paved, the drainage ???
and the water supply abundant. The place if destined for killing???
only. The next is Mr. , Elephant Lane, formerly On???
The building is at the back of and detached from the building, ???
was formerly erected for the purpose of slaughtering cattle, but has???
been used for some years. The drainage and other appliances are go???
The third is Mr. Lamb, 8, Commercial Place, Deptford Road. T???
slaughterhouse is a shed at the bottom of the yard, and consists of???
loft and basement floor stone paved. Every thing is in good orders???
very clean.
1 beg to recommend these applications to the favorable considerati???
of the Board.
Let it be here remarked in justice to the butchers of Rotherhit???
that neither last year nor previously, has any complaint been made???
the Officers of any nuisance arising from or connected with a slaught???
house. They are generally kept clean and are well conducted, and???
have always found their owners willing to adopt any improvema???
suggested.
The drainage of the houses 270, 271, and 272, Rotherhithe Str???
passes along Pump Court and through the yard of the Bull's H???
beershop. Some stoppage having occurred in the latter locality, Pum???
Court was flooded for several days during the early part of September???
The obstacle has however been removed and the nuisance abated.
At the White Lion, Rotherhithe Wall, the scullery is placed in fr???
of the house. All the liquid refuse poured down the sink of th???
scullery discharges itself by a pipe into the street, passing along???
groove in the flag stones to the gutter, where it has to travel forty fa???
and cross the road, before it can arrive at the grating by the corner ???
Elephant Lane. That part of the street is in consequence always ???
and dirty; both the foot-passengers and the neighbours complain of it
The cellar at Thanet Cottage. Swan Lane, is, from some stoppage ???
the drain pipes, always full of water. The owner and occupier, M???
