The meat trade have quickly reverted to the prewar
manner of distribution, mainly through the Smithfield
Market. A fair amount of home killed meat sold in Kingston
is now coming from the new abattoir built by the Government
at Guildford and now managed by the Guildford Corporation.
It is pleasing to record that the return of the
Meat Depot shops to their owners has brought about a
remarkable improvement in the cleanliness of the premises.
It is obvious that the various managements are taking a
keen interest in maintaining a high standard.
(ii) Foodstuffs condemned as unfit: The following
tabulated statement shows the amounts of various foods
which were condemned during the year and the causes for
condemnation. The list is very much condensed to avoid
unnecessary detail. The quantities involved are small in
comparison with the amount of food which is handled in the
town.
