    Food Inspection Details of the amount of food examined and voluntarily surrendered at the abattoir, by wholesalers, shopkeepers, canteens, etc., as unfit for human consumption are shown below. The first item given (fresh meat condemned in the City) includes all meat condemned at the abattoir for both diseased conditions and decomposition, and meat condemned at butchers' shops in the City. The total figure of 95 tons (compared with 69 tons in I960) is due in part to an increase in the number (4,268) of cattle (not animals) killed, and partly to the number found to be affected with tuber¬ culosis, twelve cattle being totally condemned (see Table III). 215,119 2,795 l,074i 1,021 46lf 274^ 50 50 14 12 X 20 lbs. meat (95 tons, 5 cwts. 1 st. 9 tins fruit, fish, soup, vegetables, lbs. tinned meat, lbs. bacon, lbs. wet fish, lbs. sausages, lbs. frozen rabbits, lbs. currants, lbs. frozen kidney, oz, jars apricot jam. lb s. ) , milk, etc., -21-
