during the past year.
Bakehouses. There are 23 registered bakehouses on the
register. 7 of which are below ground. These
have been regularly visited and, with one exception, were found to
be in a satisfactory condition. This bakehouse requires alteration
and amendment. Notice has been given to bring it up to the
requisite standard, and plans have been approved by the Health
Committee for the re-construction of same.
Slaughterhouses. There are lour registered slaughterhouses
in the Borough. Frequent inspections of
the premises have been made. There are very few animals
slaughtered locally, as the greater portion of the meat sold in the
district comes direct from the Wholesale Markets in London.

The duties in connection with these Acts have been carried out
in the Borough by the Inspector acting under the County Council.
