    During the whole of this time, Councillor H. Rigden has been Honorary Secretary, and it is largely owing to his cour- teous and tactful manner that, in such a long period no complaint has been made, either from the Meat Traders or the Inspector, of undue interference in the examination and condemnation of diseased meat, which, without exception, happens to every Butcher in the area during the course of the year. I am also pleased to report that the Meat Traders are very prompt in giving notice of any diseased meat or abnormality found upon slaughtering any animal. Slaughterhouses.

Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924. The Meat Traders generally have endeavoured to carry out the Regulations, both as to giving the Notices required and the storage of Meat and Foodstuffs.
