Six hundred and seventy-four cautionary letters were issued in 1933.
The butchers' shops are reaching a high standard of cleanliness.
Some distribution centres for restaurants carry too much business for the space available
which militates against strict cleanliness.
Considerable improvements in premises used for the manufacture of sausages and meat
products have been made, some being of a costly nature, and the trade has shown a willingness
to work in close co-operation with your officers.
In general, I am conscious that the improvements effected during the past year are
due to the cordial co-operation of the persons and associations who have met the officers
of my department.
