MEAT SUPPLY.
This is nearly all obtained from the Central Market at
Smithfield; but there are three slaughter-houses licensed
annually, in which a few beasts, and more sheep and pigs are
killed. One is satisfactory, the others are not so good, but
are periodically inspected.
During the year action was taken against a man for
slaughtering on unlicensed premises, a conviction obtained,
and a fine of £5 and costs imposed.
VEGETABLE AND FRUIT SHOPS.
These have been frequently inspected.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
There are none in the district.
FACTORIES.
The duties of Sanitary Authorities with regard to
factories are not extensive, and are practically limited to
supervision with regard to provision of means of escape in
case of fire, and also of sufficient sanitary convenience.
