    A report submitted to the Minister under the Slaughterhouses Act, 1958, was approved, but the operators of the larger slaughterhouse to be closed under the report, who had intimidated that they would erect a new slaughterhouse within the Borough, again changed their minds and decided to enter into agreement with a slaughterhouse operator in the Wycombe Rural District. This necessitated an amendment to the report as originally submitted, but the final draft was approved by the Minister and will come into operation on 1st April, 1962, from which date only one slaughterhouse will remain in operation in the Borough. Tables showing the number of animals slaughtered and condemnation of carcases and organs are appended below:— Number of animals slaughtered and inspected during 1961 Quarter Cows Other Cattle Calves Sheep Pigs Total 1st 81 777 110 1,987 935 3,890 2nd 62 901 79 2,352 821 4,215 3rd 51 1,077 98 4,030 737 5,993 4th 71 1,389 103 4,285 1,045 6,893 Totals 265 4,144 390 12,654 3,538 20,991 Totals for 1960 397 3,439 345 10,706 3,520 18,407
