recently introduced by the Ministry.
Later, the Town Clerk submitted a letter from the Ministry
of Food and giving a general statement as to the views of the
Ministry and claiming that all meat condemned for human consumption
was stained green by the Ministry before delivery to the
Borough. The Ministry claimed that it notified sanitary authorities
in whose districts slaughter-houses are situated, and also the names

the sale of condemned meat for human consumption and
recommended that all such meat should be disposed of to contractors
for conversion into technical products.
