| Summary |
"Report of the Sanitary Committee of the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London" is a scientific publication authored by William Sedgwick Saunders, written in the late 19th century. This document addresses the sanitary regulations concerning slaughterhouses in London, focusing on the health and safety implications for both the industry and the public. The report discusses objections raised by the Butchers’ Trade Society regarding new bye-laws designed to improve the operational standards of slaughterhouses, particularly in the Aldgate area. The content of the report meticulously outlines the conditions of these slaughterhouses, the necessity for structural and sanitary improvements, and the objections presented by butchers concerning the proposed regulations. Specific bye-laws are detailed alongside rebuttals to the butchers' arguments, emphasizing the importance of public health and sanitation. The Medical Officer of Health presents a compelling case for stringent regulations due to the unsanitary conditions observed, including inadequate drainage, poor ventilation, and the risk of disease spread in densely populated areas. Ultimately, the report advocates for compliance with these regulations to ensure the safety and health of the public as well as the workers within the slaughterhouses.
