The meat traders have shown a keen desire generally to observe
the provisions of the Orders. During the year a visit by the
Inspector appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries,
to instruct and advise as to the operation of this Act, was made to
this Borough and it is gratifying to learn that he expressed satisfaction
with the methods employed in administering this Act and
Orders.
