THE MILK (SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS) ORDER,
1923 and 1936.
The inspection of premises where Graded Milk is sold has been
carried out as heretofore.
There are 18 Purveyors of Milk who sell or distribute Pasteurised
Milk in the District.
During the course of the year 7 samples were taken of this
milk, either at the place of pasteurisation or in the course of
delivery. These samples all oomplied with the Regulations prescribed
in connection with Pasteurised Milk.
MEAT.
There are no public abattoirs in the District. Quite a large
quantity of meat slaughtered at the Caledonian Market is brought
into the District.

Mr. Fred Wilson, Chief Sanitary Inspector; Mr. H. Wiggett,
Mr. L. Rowley, Mr. A. Ramsden, Mr. G. Saffin and Mr. R. Johnson,
Sanitary Inspectors, who hold the Certificate of the Royal Sanitary
Institute as Inspectors of Meat and Foods, visit the slaughterhouses
at very frequent intervals. They paid 1,192 visits during
the year, when they examined 11,635 carcases, securing the surrender
of 52 carcases and 211 parcels of diseased organs.
SLAUGHTER -HOUSES.
The inspection of slaughter-houses and of animals slaughtered
therein takes up a large amount of the time of the Sanitary Inspectors
and causes considerable difficulty, in view of the fact that much of
the slaughtering takes place between the hours of 5 and 9 at nights.
