PETROLEUM REGULATION ACTS 1928 and 1936.
These Acts deal with the conditions under
which petroleum spirit and petroleum mixtures are
stored, and, with the exception of small quantities
kept in compliance with special regulations,
prohibit the storage of petroleum except under
licence granted by the Council.
During the year twenty-five licences were
issued in respect of 29,470 gallons, of which
29,300 gallons were stored in underground tanks
and 170 gallons in other containers.
Ninety-one visits were made to the different
stores to ensure that the conditions of the licences
were complied with.
