![MEAT INSPECTION Slaughterhouses There are no private slaughterhouses in the Borough, but there are two public slaughterhouses under the control of the Markets and Baths Committee; one is leased to the local Co-operative Society and the other to a private firm. Facilities are available at both these slaughterhouses for1 butchers to have their own animals slaughtered. During the year the Co-operative Society purchased lamb and beef “off the hook” and the Foundry Street Slaughterhouse was used by the Society for the slaughter of pigs. The following table shows the number of animals killed and inspected during the year with the results of inspection : — Carcases Inspected and Condemned Cattle exclud¬ ing Cows Cows Calves Sheep and Lambs P]gS Totals Number killed (if known) ...
