Up to a recent date we had only one shed,
but the Western extension of the Central
Markets, having rendered necessary the adoption
of further facilities for dealing with the
consequent increase in the quantity of offensive
matter requiring removal, a second building
was erected with the requisite tanks, lifting
gear, flushing and ventilating appliances.
These two sheds are now in perfect working
order, and we are enabled to cope with
about 18 tons of condemned meat at one
time.
PROSECUTIONS AGAINST
SENDERS OF
BAD MEAT TO THE CITY.
The following prosecutions were instituted
during the year against persons charged
with sending unwholesome meat to the City
Markets.
