Slaughtering takes place at extraordinary times, and on most
Sundays one or two Inspectors are on duty.
There are 16 licensed slaughterhouses in the Borough and
955 official inspections have been made. The slaughterhouses are
scattered over a large area, which makes the work a little difficult
at times.
The slaughterhouses generally are well-conducted and regularly
lime-washed and cleansed in accordance with the Bye-Laws.
The effect of the Regulations is to be seen in almost every
retail butcher's shop. Glass window fronts have been erected in
some instances, and portable glass screens in others. Notices
are exhibited requesting customers not to handle meat, forks being
provided for the purpose of inspection.
