The lime-washing of these slaughter-houses has on all occasions
been carried out as required, but the structure and the position of the
premises are certainly not ideal, although the occupiers endeavour to
make the best of matters and conduct the premises in as sanitary a
manner as possible.
No. 2 slaughter-house has been used very little indeed.
All animals slaughtered at the Norbiton Common Farm
slaughter-house have again been inspected, the Superintendent continuing
to give notice of slaughter.
