CHEMICAL AND BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION
OF FOOD.
Any chemical and bacteriological work required in connection
with food would have been carried out by the Clinical
Research Association.
MEAT AND OTHER FOODS:
SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
During the year there were 4 licensed slaughterhouses
in the district, but in only one instance was the slaughterhouse
used regularly each week. In two cases the slaughterhouses
were not used at all. Applications were received at
the end of the year for the renewal of all the licences, but in
the case of only one slaughterhouse was the licence renewed
by the Council, the other three houses being considered unsatisfactory.
