VISIT OF INSPECTOR W. C. KELLAND TO NEW ZEALAND.
Inspector Kelland, one of the Meat Inspectors on my staff, was in 1919 granted
leave of absence to enable him to take a journey to Australia for the benefit of his
health.
Inspector Kelland provided himself with a number of letters of introduction,
and presentation of these on his arrival enabled him to make a fairly extensive
study of the methods of slaughtering and inspection of meat in operation in the
Commonwealth of New Zealand.
The impressions gained by Inspector Kelland are contained in the following
Report which he has prepared: —
"I have the honour to submit herewith for your information some aspects of Meat Inspection and
other allied matters in Australia and New Zealand, as they presented themselves to me on the occasion
of my recent visit to these countries.
I will deal with the subject in the order in which I visited these countries and will, therefore,
open with seme remarks on conditions in New Zealand.
