(b) Meat Inspection.
There is no change of conditions. There are two slaughter
houses in the district; in one of these a whole-time meat inspector
is engaged on the duties of inspection.
The other slaughterhouse deals almost entirely with Kosher
meat.
In the memorandum of the Ministry of Health a table has
been inserted for the first time which will be very useful to local
authorities. In last year's report I gave particulars of the practices
in different areas, and the marked variation in the percentage of
carcases and organs destroyed. It was pointed out that dissatisfaction
existed amongst those who were engaged in some branches of the
meat trade, but we can now, at any rate, show-to what extent
inspection is made. In addition to the Table required by the
Ministry, certain further particulars have been furnished.
