Refusal or Revocation of Registration.
The Council did not during 1938 refuse or revoke registration
on the grounds that the public health was, or was likely to be, endangered
by any act or default of any purveyor in relation to the quality,
storage or distribution of milk.
Tuberculous Milk and Tuberculous Cattle.
There has been no instance where there was reason to suspect
that tuberculosis was caused or likely to be caused by the consumption
of milk sold in the district. There is no cowshed in the area. The
Council is not a Local Authority for the purposes of the Diseases of
Animals Act, 1894.

There are 34 butchers' shops in the area. The number of visits
of inspection made by the Sanitary Inspectors, who are Certified
Inspectors of Meat, was 136:
No diseased meat was found in the course of these inspections.
No proceedings were taken under the Public Health (Meat)
Regulations, 1924.
Slaughterhouses.
There is no public slaughterhouse in the area. The only private
slaughterhouse licenced in the Borough has been found to be kept
in a satisfactory condition.
During the year nine notices of intention to slaughter were
received. Inspection at the time of slaughter was made by the Chief
Sanitary Inspector. The animals slaughtered on this occasion were
