Gr Sullivan spoke in support and that to 'ensure that the Government Inspector would pass thfc meat, it was the council's present intention to 'appoint a Mianager-In--spector. The advantage of the abat- . toir was that consumers, so far as was possible, were assured of receiving meat which was certified.
