Vestry had had under consideration the question of the proposal which is before the London
County Council to abolish private slaughterhouses and establish public abattoirs under its
own control, and had decided to strongly protest against such proposal.
Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Committee, that this Yestry protest against
the proposal before the London County Council to abolish private slaughterhouses and
establish public abattoirs at the expense of the ratepayers.
Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
15, Cathay Street.
On 3rd May, 1898, the Yestry Resolved, upon the recommendation of the Sanitary Committee,
to accept the offer of Mr. C. Chandler to purchase 15 Cathay Street for the sum of
£100.
The premises, it will be remembered, were purchased for the purpose of utilising them
as a temporary shelter, but were subsequently deemed unsatisfactory, and other premises
were built at the Yestry's Wharf in Rotherhithe Street.
Sub-section 4 of Section GO enacts that a Sanitary Authority shall provide, free of charge,
temporary shelter or house accommodation, with any necessary attendants, for the members
of any family in which any dangerous infectious disease has appeared who have been compelled
to leave their dwellings for the purpose of enabling such dwellings to be disinfected
by the Sanitary Authority.
The temporary shelter erected by the Yestry has not yet been occupied for the purpose
for which it was built.
