CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACTS.
During the year 19 applications were received for
certificates under these Acts.
There was a very considerable amount of work
which had to be carried out in reference to these
applications. In no case was the certificate granted
until the whole of the sanitary requirements were
carried out so as to place the premises in a proper
sanitary condition.
