The most effectual system, however, would be the probibition of importation of meat from Kwanglung province, whence, I understand, nearly the whole amount is imported, to continue the brandier of carce, and also to slaughter, as at 'prerest in mark the meat before its despatch from the slaughter hauser, in order to prevent the reintro duction of related cattle surreptitiously slaughtered.
By-law 14.No flesh meat other than that which has been slaughtered in the slaughter houses of the Colony shall be exposed for sale In any market till it has been lospected by an Inspector of markets and marked by him as belog fit for human food.
The following minutes were sppended- Mr. Ede: It seems to me that if bye-law No. 14 Ord, 17 of 1887, is put into force and all meat slaughtered in the Colony be also marked before sale it would ensure protection to all those who care to protect themselves by only buying meat in the regulated markers,
Surgeon Major Wescott; I l Impossible to estimate the quantity of test which is imported, but it is probably not great, and the object of its Importation can only be the disposal of cattle which the owners suspect would not qualify for slaughter. It will be very difficult to properly enforce byedaw 14, and still more difficult to reject Inferior or diseased meat as unfit for bums food. I therefore strongly recommend the adop tion of the and method suggested.
