During the year, 3 new Fish-frying shops have been opened in
Enfield with the consent of the Council and I am happy to say that
these are of a much improved design. The closed saloon type is
becoming popular with the traders.
MILK.
Routine inspection of cowsheds, dairies and milkshops has been
carried out during the year under the Milk and Dairies (Consolidation)
Order, 1926. The standard of cleanliness has been fairly
well maintained.
Practically the whole of the farms retailing milk are now fitted
with sterilisation plant, and the farmers have realised their responsibility
with regard to limewashing and complied with the
requirements of the Act.

PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT) REGULATIONS, 1924.
Meat inspection is carried out according to the Regulations ;
as stated in previous years, every possible endeavour is made to
see that foodstuffs are dealt with under the most modern hygienic
conditions.
The various tradesmen in the District are realising the importance
of this matter and are endeavouring to deal with it in
a progressive manner.
The following table shews the results of inspections of the
carcases and organs of animals killed in the slaughterhouses of
the District.
