    By the direction of the Public Health Department and with the consent of the local Food Committee, the ham, bacon, butter, margarine and fat were sent to the refiners ; the flour was used for animal food ; the fish was sterilized and used as poultry food and the meat was as far as possible subjected to special treatment in order to recover the fat and other valuable products. Every Sunday morning one of the inspectors patrols the Bank district, East End and Prospect Row for the purpose of inspecting the contents of the hawkers' carts—rabbits, vegetables and meat. Open shops and slaughter-houses are also inspected in a similar fashion. Summary of Inspection.
