Licensed Premises.—Under this heading are included:—
Cowsheds, of which there are 21
Dairies and Milkshops 333
Common Lodging Houses 11
Slaughter Houses 31
These are periodically visited by the Inspectors of Nuisances, the
number of visits being shown in the appendix to this report.
Applications were granted for the registration of a new keeper
and deputy keeper at the common lodging-house, No. 211, High Street,
Stratford, and for a new deputy keeper at No. 11, Fulton Street.
An application for a new slaughter-house license at the rear of
No. 9, Upton Lane was not granted.
Bakehouses.—There are 165 bakehouses in the Borough, of
which 46 are basement bakehouses duly certified by the Council. A
new bakehouse was opened at No. 7, Balmoral Terrace, Prince Regent's
Lane.

Offensive Trades.—An application was made for permission
to establish the offensive trade of fat melting at premises known as
Magnet Works, Marshgate Lane. The Public Health Committee
viewed the premises, and, finding them unfit for the purpose, required
the applicants to submit to the Medical Officer of Health plans and
particulars of alterations they were prepared to make. The applicants
failed to submit these particulars, and permission to establish the trade
on the above site was not granted.
New premises were erected in Barber's Road, Stratford, by Mr.
V/. Hornett, for carrying on the trade of bone boiling, permission
having been obtained from the Council, as stated in my report for
1906.
