SHOPS ACTS.
The Shops Acts, 1912-13, and the Shops (Hours of
Closing) Act, 1928, may be cited together as the Shops Acts,
1912 to 1928.
Seven hundred and twenty-five visits have been paid to shops
during the year, and, apart from a number of minor infringements,
which were dealt with, the provisions of the Shops Acts,
1912-1928, have, generally speaking, been well observed.
Letters have been sent in thirteen instances where contraventions
have occurred after verbal notices, and undertakings
obtained that recurrences will not take place.
