We thoroughly agree with the proposals above set out and
feel convinced that, if they are put into operation, it will mean a

on the 31st July, 1925, if practicable, otherwise at the earliest
possible date. [Adopted.
(b) That the markets be under the control of the Medical Officer
of Health. [ Adopted.
