respect, our efforts met with some degree of success.
The Abattoir had its biggest "through put" of animals for
many years, namely 44, 829, an increase of 6, 169 over the previous
year. A 100 per cent, inspection of the meat and offals from the
animals slaughtered has been maintained by employing four of the
District Sanitary Inspectors, on a rota system, as reliefs for
the two full-time Inspectors.

it has still been possible to pay no small measure of attention
to food inspection and food hygiene, as can be seen from the
tables in the body of the report.
I wish to record my thanks to all members of the staff for
the ready way they have responded to the calls on their working
and leisure hours during the year.
GEO. GRIEVE,
Chief Sanitary Inspector
