    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Aedical Officer of Health FOR THE Urban District of Worsley, For the Year 1925. To the Chairman and Members of the Worsley Urban District Council. 10th May, 1925. Gentlemen, In drawing up my Report for 1925, I wish to briefly review the past five years. This has been an exceptional year for work done, more particularly in the greatly increased number of conversions of closets to the water carriage system,—200 being completed during the year and each provided with movable ashbins, compared with an average for the previous five years of 90. In 1920 there were only 10. Over two thirds of total houses are now provided with water closets. During the year much progress has been made under the heading of food inspection. The inspection is being efficiently carried carried out under the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924. The meat is regularly examined at time of slaughter, and the stalls, shops, and stores periodically examined and regulations strictly enforced. The public do not yet realise the importance of the work done in this direction, but much has been done and the inhabitants ought to eat their meat with satisfaction, knowing that its preparation is well looked after, and doubtful cases removed and destroyed. This is the first year, and the passing of the regulations fills a long-felt need.
