Meat.
There are no public abattoirs in the District. Quite a large
quantity of meat slaughtered at the Caledonian Market is brought
into the District.

Mr. Fred Wilson and Mr. T. M. Boswell, Assistant Sanitary
Inspectors, who both hold the Certificate of the Royal Sanitary
Institute as Inspectors of Meat and Foods, visit the slaughterhouses
at very frequent intervals, and, as will be seen by a reference
to the Sanitary Inspector's Report, they paid 520 such visits during
the year, when they examined 1,313 carcases, and secured the
surrender of 13 parcels of diseased organs.
The constant supervision of the slaughter-houses greatly contributes
to their maintenance in a satisfactory condition and in
securing the examination of all animals killed.
Bakehouses.
The bakehouses in the District have been regularly inspected,
and every endeavour made to see "that they are kept in proper order.
Other Foods.
The butchers' shops, eating houses, fish shops, etc., are also
frequently inspected, and care taken to see that every place where
cooked meats and other foods are prepared, with their utensils, are
kept clean and in good order.
