It is, perhaps, of interest to record that some improvement
has been noticed in the class of animal slaughtered
during the year in certain parts of the Borough, and this no
doubt is due to the operation of the Regulations.
The work of meat inspection—entailing as it does the
necessity of condemning meat which may have been purchased
in good faith, but which upon examination is found to be
unsound—does not lend itself to good feeling between the
trade and servants of the Council. We are pleased to state,
however, that in this respect our work, generally speaking,
has progressed smoothly.
410 Visits were made by the Sanitary Inspectors to the
slaughter-houses, but it was not found necessary to serve any
official notice, no structural defects being found. One summons
was issued in respect to a stall which had not the meat
properly screened, and a fine of £2 2s. 0d. and £2 2s. 0d. costs
imposed.
