getting the proper supply from the various markets in the country.
Slaughtering is carried out at almost all hours of all days,
holidays or otherwise, and the Sanitary Inspectors have to spend a
considerable amount of their time in examining the carcases and
organs of slaughtered animals, and although there is an increase of
one certified Meat Inspector on the Staff, they are all still fully
employed.
The old back and forward movement of meat from the
slaughterhouses in Enfield to the Central Meat Market, London,
and meat from the latter being sent to and sold in Enfield, still
continues.
A perusal of the table below reveals an increase in the number
of sheep and calves killed, but a decrease in the number of pigs,
the total number of animals killed being somewhat less than in the
previous year, but the amount of meat destroyed has increased.

The organs or parts of carcases found to be diseased were surrendered
and destroyed. The weight of the meat destroyed was
4 tons 15 cwt. 3 qrs. 14 lbs.
The carcases generally were in good condition, and there was
no case which necessitated the obtaining of a Magistrates Order.
I am satisfied that matters are still on the improvement with
regard to meat inspection in Enfield.
