PRIVATE SLAUGHTERHOUSES AND MEAT INSPECTION
At the end of 1932 there were 3 registered slaughterhouses in
the Borough, one being entirely discontinued during the year.
Registered private slaughterhouses have in recent years gradually
been reduced from 6 to 3. In two instances they have been
accommodated at the Public Slaughterhouses. The number of
visits paid to the private slaughterhouses for the purpose of inspecting
the meat during 1932 was 1,043.
