(6) MEAT AND OTHER FOODS
Slaughterhouses.—There are three private registered premises
in the Borough. Applications for renewal of licences were granted
by the Borough Council in October.
Slaughtering takes place at these premises very infrequently,
as practically all meat sold in the Borough is brought from
Smithfield.
Slaughter of Animals Act, 1933.—Licences to slaughter
animals in this Borough, valid for a period of 12 months, were
granted to three slaughtermen.
The Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924.—Under
these regulations, which came into operation on the 1st April,
1925, before slaughtering takes place, notice must first be given
to the Council of intention to do so. On receipt of such information
an inspector attends during the slaughtering and inspects carcases.
The regulations also prescribe for the protection of meat from
contamination by dust and flies.
There are 33 butchers' shops in the Borough and these premises
and the commodities sold are kept under regular observation by
the Sanitary Inspectors.
