Wholesale Preserved Provision Factories.—48 visits were made
to these and on each occasion I found the carcases, ox and pigs
heads, and other meat of various kinds to be sound and free from
disease, and the premises kept in a cleanly condition.
Miscellaneous Inspections and Unsound Fond.—522 visits and
inspections have been made on complaint and in connection with
the sale of food. The amount of faulty Government bacon and
hams coming into the Borough has diminished compared with previous

making.
