    Inspection of Places where Food is Prepared. Meat. The shops of the Meat Purveyors are frequently visited and are kept in a clean condition. The work of supervision has largely increased, owing to the number of Retail Meat Stalls at the local weekly Market ; the meat sold at the stalls includes Imported Beef and Mutton, Home Killed Pork and Mutton. Imported Bacon and Ham are also sold. Fish. The four Fishmongers’ premises are kept in a clean and satisfactory condition. Three premises where Fish and Chip-Potato frying is carried on are kept in a satisfactory condition. There are now a number of Stalls for the sale of wet and dried fish at the weekly Market. These are regularly visited. During the year 10 boxes of mackerel were examined and surrendered by the salesman, as they were unfit for sale as human food. Bakehouses.
