    On three or four occasions, however, my attention has been called to animals supposed to be diseased, which have been examined, together with yourself. In one instance, owing to the nature of the illness, a beast was totallv condemned as unfit for human food; and, in another instance, a beast was found to be in a tuberculous condition upon being slaughtered in a registered slaughter house, and the affected parts were destroyed. On two other occasions, I was called to examine the car- cases of pigs, but considered these fit for human food. There are, at the present time, 3 offensive trades being carried on in the district; these have, together with yourself, been inspected at various times during the year, and have been found in a clean and satisfactory condition. The Cowsheds, Dairies, and Milkshops have also received attention, and, generally speaking, show a marked improve- ment, especially with respect to the lighting and ventilation of the same, and the general cleanliness has been good. I am. Yours obediently, J. W. WINDASS, Sanitary Inspector.
