ing from tuberculosis. On examination, three of this number were
found to be so suffering and were slaughtered.
Routine examination of milch cattle was carried out during
the year by Mr. Reginald Wooff, M.R.C.V.S., the County Council's
whole-time Veterinary Inspector; 2,598 inspections of bovine
animals were made in Enfield; eight cows were found to be suffering
from tuberculosis as defined in the Tuberculosis Order, 1925, and
were slaughtered.
THE MILK (SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS) ORDER, 1936.
The inspection of premises where Graded Milk is sold has been
carried out as heretofore.
There are 27 Purveyors of Milk who sell or distribute Pasteurised
Milk in the District.
During the course of the year 18 samples were taken of this
milk, either at the place of pasteurisation or in the course of
delivery. These samples all complied 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. A. Ramsden, Mr. R. Johnson and Mr. G. R. Evans,
Sanitary Inspectors, who hold the Certificate of the Royal
Sanitary Institute as Inspectors of Meat and Foods, visit the
slaughter-houses at very frequent intervals. They paid 989 visits
during the year, when they examined 9,555 carcases, securing the
surrender of 10 carcases and 171 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.
