MEAT INSPECTION.
In last year's report a full account was given of the
precautions taken to ensure a healthy meat supply in the district.
As far as the inspection of meat is concerned in the particular
slaughterhouse referred to in last year's report, the conditions
have not changed.
Towards the end of 1920, the slaughterhouse in Hanbury
Road was purchased by a firm that used to slaughter in Aldgate.
In former years the number of cattle slaughtered in this building
was small, but since the reopening in the end of last year, a large
amount of slaughtering has taken place there.
