Bakehouses.
There are nine bakehouses in the district, three of which are
underground.
Notices under Section 99 of the Factory and Workshop
Act, 1901, were sent out to all occupiers of bakehouses,throughout
the district, requiring them to thoroughly limewash their bakehouse
premises twice a year, and all the Notices with one
exception were complied with. The one exception, after second
notice, was put in a cleanly condition.

Under the provisions of the Public Health Act, Amendment
Act, 1907, Section 12 of the Public Health Act; 1875, the
establishment of the Trade of fish-frier is an offensive trade,
within the Urban area.
Slaughter Houses.
There are two licensed and three registered slaughter houses
in the district, and these are being maintained in a satisfactory
manner. Limewashing and cleansing is carried out regularly and
systematically. In the course of my inspection of slaughter
houses, I have found the following methods of slaughtering
adopted by the butchers within the Urban District :—
Mr. Pullen, Station Road—
Both Pole-axe and Humane killer in use.
Mr. Daniels, East Barnet Road—
Both Pole-axe and Humane killer in use.
