Three samples of flock in course of manufacture were taken
from this factory during the year. On examination, two of the
samples proved to be satisfactory, but the third sample was found
to contain 60 parts of soluble chlorine per 100,000 parts, or 30 parts
in excess of the permissible quantity. Proceedings were taken
against the Manufacturer and the case was dismissed under the
Probation of Offenders Act on payment of £3 3s. costs.

REPORT OF THE CANAL BOATS INSPECTOR.
Number of visits to waterways 23
Number of boats inspected —
The reasons why no boats were inspected during the year are
as stated in the report for 1932, namely, the reduced number of boats
consequent upon the increase of road transport and the fact that
the boats are now motor-propelled and pass through the Borough
without stopping.
