There are 15 licensed and registered slaughter-houses which

BACK PASSAGES.
The secondary means of access at the rear of business
premises are frequently allowed to get into an insanitary
condition.
These passages are used in common by the several frontagers
and that which is generally everybody's work to keep clean seldom
gets performed.
Much useful work has been done during the year under the
East Ham Improvement Acts, to abate nuisances in connection
with these passages by calling upon the responsible person to have
them paved and drained.
PETROLEUM LICENSES.
In consequence of the demand for petrol, more Petroleum
Licenses have been granted, necessitating more inspections
and supervision.
