NOTICE.
UNSOUND POULTRY, GAME, etc.
THE Corporation of London has recently had under consideration the very
large amount of Poultry and Game condemned in its Markets, the value
of which amounts on an average to several thousand pounds per annum.
Enquiry shows that a large proportion of this waste is due to carelessness
or ignorance of consignors as to the best methods of preparing and packing
such goods.
Poultry and Game require for their preservation in good condition the
greatest possible care and attention to details at every stage, of killing, storing,
and packing.
The Corporation has therefore requested its. Medical Officer of Health to
prepare the accompanying Circular Letter on the subject.
Copies may be obtained for distribution on application.

Town Clerk.
