During the year 2 new fish-frying shops have been opened
with the consent of the Council, and I am pleased to say that these
have been of an improved type. The closed saloon type is still
very much in favour 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.
It will be noted that the number of Cow-keepers in the district
has fallen. The reason for this is somewhat difficult to ascertain,
but is probably correlated to the increased urbanisation of Enfield.

PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT) REGULATIONS, 1924.
The inspection of meat as in previous years has been carried
out according to the Regulations, and all possible efforts are made
to see that the various foodstuffs are prepared under the most
modern hygienic conditions. I think the desirability of obtaining
these conditions is fully appreciated by the various tradesmen
in the district and they are all doing their best to work in cooperation
with us in this matter.
The following table shews the results of inspections of the
carcases and organs of animals killed in the slaughterhouses of
the District.
