The Cowsheds within the District have been regularly
inspected and in one case a new brick shed has
been constructed in lieu of an old wooden structure.
The new shed is a great improvement on the old one
and in its construction due regard has been paid to the
model Regulations.
The cows in the Local Sheds are inspected periodically
by the Council's Veterinary Inspector.
No licences have been applied for under the milk
(Special Designations) order, 1923.
MEAT INSPECTION.
Since the Public Health (Meat) Regulation (1924)
came into operation, the whole of the meat slaughtered
within the Area has been inspected before being offered
for sale.
This has entailed a great amount of work on the
Inspector and his Assistant, much of which has had to
be done after Office Hours.
The amount of meat condemned, particulars of which
appear in the Inspector's Report, shews how necessary
these regulations were, in order that the food supply
of the Public should be inspected before being offered for
consumption. If the standard of inspection at present
carried out can be maintained the inhabitants of the
District will benefit by a more wholesome supply of meat.
The Inspector has not been instructed to carry out
Meat Marking under the Regulations.
Condemned Meat is disposed of by burning in the
Boilers of the Council's Electricity Generating Station,
but as it is likely that this station will shortly be closed,
owing to the arrangements of a bulk supply of the current
from an adjoining authority, the question of disposing
of this meat will present some difficulty.
Meat inspection is also carried out in shops, stalls
and carts, due regard being paid to the question of cleanliness
in handling the same. The details as to the number
of inspections under this heading will be found in
