MEAT AND OTHER FOODS. No change in the arrangements for meat inspection has taken place during the year, except that, in May, meat inspection at Markinch Slaughter-House was transferred from the charge of the Sanitary Inspector, Leslie Burgh, to the Sanitary Inspector, Kirk- caldy Area. Various structural alterations and improvements were carried out at Cupar Slaughter-House, the private booths being done away with and made into a killing hall. A separate cooling hall was also provided. The following table shows the number of animals slaughtered and the weight in lbs. of meat condemned during 1947.
