Mr. Fred Wilson and Mr. T. M. Boswell, Assistant Sanitary
Inspectors, who both hold the Certificate of the Royal Sanitary
Institute as Inspectors of Meat and Foods, visit the slaughterhouses
at very frequent intervals, and, as will be seen by a reference
to the Sanitary Inspector's Report, they paid 566 such visits during
the year, when they examined 1,167 carcases, and secured the
surrender of 6 parcels of diseased organs.
The sanitary condition of the slaughterhouses is, on the whole,
satisfactory, and every endeavour is made to examine all meat
killed before it is offered for sale.
Bakehouses.
The 55 bakehouses in the District, of which 37 are in use, hava
been regularly inspected, and all are kept in a satisfactory condition.
Other Foods.
The butchers' shops, eating houses, fish shops, etc., are also
frequently inspected, and care taken to see that every place where
cooked meats and other foods are prepared, with their utensils, are
kept clean and in good order.
