Application was made to the Council for a
license to erect a slaughter house upon premises in
Ewell Road. The Sanitary Committee gave the
matter their careful consideration and eventually
decided not to grant the application as the proposed
new slaughter house did not comply with the
recommendations of the Local Government Board
as regards the distance from the adjoining houses.
