Food Poisoning
There was no outbreak of food poisoning in 1948.
Humane Slaughter of Animals
In accordance with the provisions of the Slaughter of Animals
Act, 1933, all animals, including sheep, slaughtered in a slaughterhouse
within the district must be stunned by means of a mechanically
operated instrument kept in good repair.
This method of slaughter continues to prove satisfactory.
Licensed Slaughtermen
The Act also provides that no animal shall be slaughtered or
stunned by any person who is not the holder of a licence granted
by the local authority. The licences granted by the Council have
to be renewed annually. The number of persons licensed under
the Act during 1948 was 2.
