Cow and Slaughter Houses, &c.—These premises
were inspected as usual by the Medical Officers of
Health. Exception was found to the condition of some
of the Cow-houses at Streatham (page 64). Elsewhere
the Regulations now in force seem to have been fairly
well carried out.
Active operations against Piggeries have been carried
on in some of the sub-districts, especially Battersea and
Wandsworth, (see Summaries, pp. 37 and 54). Their
presence is an offence to the inhabitants of this now
thickly populated Suburb, and nothing will be left undone
to banish them for ever from the Wandsworth
District.
The Water Supply.—Complaints are still made
regarding the supply of water for Dietetic purposes.
Remarks on this subject will be found at page 73.
Press of work has no doubt deferred for a time the consideration
of this subject on the part of the Government,
but the question is one which admits of no shirking or
neglect. The Water supply of London is a disgrace to
the sanitary legislation of the present day.
