Wherever brawn and sausages are made special attention has
been given. At one brawn makers I found and condemned 22
sheeps' tongues, in pickle, which were more or less unsound. They
were destroyed with the consent of the owner.
I have had occasion to speak very severely to one stall keeper
who deals largely in cow beef about the quality of the meat
offered, for sale, and more care is now exercised over same.
This stall is visited nearly every day, and also the place where
the meat is stored.
Several consignments of damaged wheat, rice, barley, etc., have
been received into my district from the docks, to be made up into
poultry food. These have been watched through and dealt with.
The following is a list of food destroyed during the year:—
2 boxes of eels Surrendered on inspection.
22 sheeps' tongues „ „
1 box of sweets „ „
5 boxes onions.
2 sacks of cabbages.
2 boxes of tomatoes.
Numerous small lots of damaged fruit have been dealt with in a
satisfactory manner.
Factory and Workshops.
All these now on the register are visited regularly, and when
required, cleansing notices are served which are quickly attended
to. No overcrowding in any workshop has been found to exist.
Outworkers.
The premises where male outworkers live have been visited,
and notices to cleanse the walls and ceilings served in some
instances.
