ICE CREAM.
Sixty-two shops where ice-cream was made or sold were
inspected during the Summer, 93 visits being made to them, and
where necessary instructions given in regard to the cleansing of
utensils and premises.
The Summer being cold and wet, less trade was done with
this article.
COFFEE AND EATING HOUSES.
During the year an inspection was made of all the Coffee and
Eating Houses, when the premises and arrangements were
generally found to be in good order and condition.
UNSOUND MEAT AND FOODS.
In this connection Mr. Fred Wilson and Mr. T. M. Boswell,
the Assistant Inspectors, have paid a weekly visit to the
slaughterhouses, shops and markets, the number of inspections
made for this purpose being:—
Slaughterhouses 785
Shops 753
Stalls in Markets 1225
2763
The number of carcases examined during the visits to
slaughterhouses is as follows:—
Cows 79
Oxen 188

1924
During the examination of these carcases while being prepared
for food 33 organs were found to be diseased, and these
were surrendered by the owners and destroyed.
The carcases generally were in good condition, and there
was no case found which necessitated the obtaining of a Magistrate's
Order.
