House-to-House Inspection.
There were no house-to-house surveys carried out
during the year 1925, as your Inspectors were fully
occupied with other work, it being especially necessary
to devote a considerable amount of time to the administration
of the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924,
particularly in regard to the inspection of meat in the
slaughterhouses.
