Of the 11 samples over standard, three contained less than
200,000 bacteria per m.l.
It will be seen that all the samples except 11 complied with
the requisite standard. Five samples, however, showed the
presence of B. Coli in 1/10 c.c. Five samples in 1/100 c.c. and
four in 1/1000 c.c. In each case of non-compliance with
standard a warning letter was sent to the supplier.

The work of meat inspection continues to be carried out by

Meat Inspector's Office.—The Meat Inspector's Office was
removed to No. 28, Cowcross Street, last year; an inclusive rate
of £40 per annum is paid (except charges for gas and electricity).
There is a considerable number of wholesale meat and offal
shops and other food premises in the Borough, and the two
inspectors are kept fully employed. Regular inspection of the
butcher's shops and market streets is carried out by Mr. Penman.
