ABATTOIR KILLINGS
FALLING OFF AT CHRISTCHURCH.
P.A. CHRISTCHURCH. May 15. The effect that meat rationing was having on killings at the Citv Abattoir was mentioned by Councillor J. N. Clarke, Chairman of the Abattoir Reserves and Milk Committee, at the City Council’s meeting this evening. He said that there had been a tremendous dropping off. Cr. M. E. Lyons said that rationing was not quite wholly responsible. Armv contracts entered into it. The abattoir manager’s report showed that in April 911 cattle were slaughtered compared with 1.337 in April last year. Killings of sheep dropped from 8,191 to 5,590 and lamb killings from 3,081 to 1,958, while last month 346 calves were killed compared with 460 in April last year.
