Old Metal and Marine Store Dealers.
Eight persons are registered. Books are kept by them,
in accordance with the Act, and periodical inspections made
of the premises and books.
Registries for Servants.
Fifteen premises are registered and 28 visits have been
made to these premises by the Health Visitor.

with the Act. In some cases, the rag or black flocks are not
used at all, but white cotton flocks have been substituted,
