A summary of the above was presented by me
to the Sanitary Committee on the 28th November,
1899, supplemented by a further statement on
the 23rd January.
At the close of the year it was ordered
that a Notice be published calling attention of
wholesale dealers in Margarine, or Margarine
Cheese, to the obligations imposed upon the
Trade by the new Act, and accordingly the
following was approved and circulated :—
"NOTICE.
" To Wholesale Dealers in Margarine or
" Margarine Cheese.
"SALE OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACT, 1899.
"Under the provisions of Section 7 (1) of the above
"Act, every occupier of a manufactory of Margarine or
"Margarine Cheese, and every wholesale dealer in such
"substances, shall, on and after the 1st January, 1900,
"keep a register showing the quantity and destination
"of each consignment of such substances sent out from
"his manufactory or place of business, and this register
"shall be open to the inspection of any officer of the
" Board of Agriculture.
