RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS ACT 1951.
This Act deals with the conditions under which
rag flock and other filling materials are used in the
making of mattresses, chairs and similar articles,
and particularly with the cleanliness of the
materials used.
There is one trader whose premises come within the
scope of the Act. The premises have been registered
and were visited during the year to ensure that the
requirements of the Act were being observed.
PETROLEUM REGULATIONS ACTS 1925 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 course of the year the
Council revised the conditions under which licences
are granted and brought them into line with the latest
recommendations of the Home Office.
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.
One hundred and eighteen visits were made to the
different stores to ensure that the conditions of the
licences were complied with.
