Licensing or Slaughtermen.
Applications for licences for slaughtermen under the provisions of the Slaughter of
Animals Act, 1933, were received from five persons in respect of the three slaughter-houses.
The Council's Inspector reported in each case that, in his opinion and from personal observation
of the applicant's work, he was a fit and proper person to act as a slaughterman and
the licences were granted for one year ending 31st October, 1938.
