is made for a duly authorised officer to take samples of any
terials appearing to him to be filling materials to which the Act
applies.
The Regulations set out the tests which are to be applied to samples
of the various filling materials, the fees payable for the examination
of samples and the nomes and addresses of prescribed Analysts to
whom samples are to be submitted.
As there are no premises in the Borough of Fulham where Rag Flock
is manufactured or stored preparatory to distribution to upholsterers,
no applications for licences were received.
All premises in the borough which might be liable to registration
under the Act were visited but in five instances only was the manufacture
of new articles of upholstery etc, undertaken,the remainder merely
remaking or reconditioning secondhand furniture etc., and were there

During 1951, four samples of Rag Flock which were examined by the
Council's Public Analyst were reported to be satisfactory.
