in any degree involves seizure of the whole carcase and of the
organs.
In the ox, however, if only evidence of tuberculosis can be
found in part of the carcase, (localized) after careful investigation,
then the affected parts only are condemned.
Should any doubtful case occur, the Inspector consults the
Medical Officer of Health. Mr. Hunter has passed through the
special course of instruction in meat inspection and other foods,
held by the Royal Sanitary Institute, and also had the good fortune
to be a pupil of the late James King, M.R.C.V.S., Superintendent
of the Islington Metropolitan Cattle Markets and Abbatoirs, and
the leading authority on meat inspection of his time. Mr. Hunter
is a certificated meat inspector, and has a thorough practical
knowledge of his duties. It will be seen, by reference to the
Sanitary Inspector's detailed report, that, if we are to have a pure
food supply, this inspection is very necessary, the amount of
diseased food seized since the Inspector took up his duties in
June 1908, proves the necessity beyond a doubt.
MALDEN GREEN.
Since issuing the last report the Council have been able to
secure Byelaws for the regulation of Maiden Green, which have
been duly fixed in different parts of the Common.
Important works are at present in progress by the Clerk of
the Council in relation to the management and use of the respective
greens. This I understand will be dealt with shortly by the Allotments
and Open Spaces Committee, when it is hoped that the
existing conditions and unsightly deposits of soil, etc., will be put
an end to, so that the approach from Worcester Park Station
will be greatly improved in so beautiful a part of the district.
RECREATION AND SPORTS.
Beverley Park.—During the year the Allotments and Open
Spaces Committee have made a further advance in regard to the
developing a scheme for the laying out of this Recreation
Ground. This Park, as it has now been called, provides a glorious
breathing space of 20 acres for the benefit of public health. A
considerable number of seats has been provided and also a number
of trees planted.
