but towards the end of the year the end of meat rationing was in sight and it appears
that it may be necessary to open at least one of these slaughter-houses as an interim
measure until a sufficient number of abbatoirs can be built.
There are eight persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to slaughter
animals. These slaughtermen, although licensed by this Authority, work outside the
district. No complaint has been received from the districts in which they work
concerning the conduct of any of these men.
DRAINAGE.
One cesspool was dispensed with by connecting the drainage of the property to
the Council's sewer.
Drainage works, to obviate pollution of surface water sewers and ditches, were
required and executed at sixteen properties, and the drains of five premises were
found to be defective and were reconstructed under supervision of the department.
In addition, the construction of sewage disposal plants to seven new properties was
supervised and approved.

Two notices served required the thorough cleansing of the sanitary accommodation
and in one instance the cleansing of a workroom and provision of a thermometer.
