MEAT INSPECTION.
There is one inspector appointed for meat inspection in the
Borough, acting under the supervision of the Medical Officer of
Health.
This Inspector holds the Certificate of the Sanitary Association
of Scotland as a Sanitary Inspector. The Meat Inspector is assisted
so far as the Municipal Slaughterhouses are concerned, by the
superintendent, who is an experienced slaughterman.
In all cases of difficulty arising from difference of opinion or
doubt the Medical Officer of Health is consulted.
The Meat Inspector visits the private slaughterhouses as far as
possible when slaughtering operations are going on, and at other
times to ascertain whether the regulations as to removal of offal and
general cleanliness are complied with.
The following tabulated statements show the number of
slaughterhouses and the visits paid to same ; the total amount of
meat and other articles of food destroyed, and the reason for such
