(3) Slaughter Houses.
There are two slaughter-houses on the Register, but
during the period of food control only one was in use.
The owner was called on to carry out certain alterations
and repairs to render it more suitable for its purpose,
and these were carried oat.
Inspections have been made both at times of
. slaughtering and other times, but no tuberculous meat
was discovered during the year.
(4) Bakehouse.
There are 11 Bakehouses in the district, none of
them underground. These have been kept under
regular inspection, and have been found clean and satisfactory
with four exceptions ; in 3 cases limewashing
was required, and in one case the floor required repair.
(6) Other Foods,
Other premises where food is prepared, stored or
exposed for sale have been kept under observation during
the year, and were found on the whole satisfactory.
A number of complaints were received as to the
quality of the bacon supplied at ope period. These were
all investigated, and it was found that while the bacon was
not in such a condition as to require condemnation as
unfit for human consumption, it was nevertheless
preserved in such a manner as to render the flavour
most unappetising if not positively nauseous.
Some consignments of Rabbits and Fish were
surrendered by the vendors to the Inspector of
Nuisances as unfit for human consumption, and a full
list of food so surrendered is given in the summary of his
work (on page 12).
(5) Sale of Foods and Drugs Acts.
The Local Authority for the administration of these
Acts is the Kent County Council.
