The inspection of Moat was carried out daily at the
largo Government Meat Depot in the Borough. This Depot also
serves adjoining Boroughs. In the course of those
inspections 5 tons 9 cwts. of Meat and offals were
condemned as unsound. Owing to the centralising of
slaughtering only occasional killings of animals took
place at the licensed Slaughter Houses in the Borough,
where 115 carcases wore examined.
It was necessary during the year for a considerable
amount of foodstuffs in shops and stores to be examined and
sorted after damage by enemy action.
In addition the following food was surrendered as
unfit for human consumption and sent away for salvage
10 cwts. Fish;
7 cwts. Meat;
9 cwts. Potatoes;
50 dozen Eggs;
18 cases Rabbits;
