As noted elsewhere in this report four cases of Tuberculosis generalised, were sent in from dairies to the slaughter-house. This number, however, does not indicate the degree of prevalence of this disease as immediately the Chinese owners recognise that a cow is suffering from Tuberculosis, and they are alive to the danger as far at least as the individual cow is concerned, the animal is removed out of the Colony. It is difficult to trace the ultimate destination of these cows.
Importation of Beef and Mutton.
The importations of fresh beef and mutton were respectively 310,171 lb. and 306,678 lb. The Dairy Farm Company are the only importers. The meat is imported from Australia.
Markets.
Up to July, 1909, the Registrar General's Department had the control of the markets as far as the letting of the stalls and the collection of revenue was concerned while the Sanitary Department looked after the sanitary condition of the markets. On that date the Sanitary Department took over the full control of the markets, collecting the revenue, letting the stalls and generally supervising the whole work.
The following statement shows the average revenue derived from the markets from 1898 to 1907, the revenue for 1908 and the revenue for 1909 :-
