On every home match, however, a few unregistered traders appear in the vicinity of the ground
and the Department is endeavouring with the co-operation of the Police either to discourage their
presence or secure compliance with the Act and Regulations.

This work continued during the year in a remarkably smooth and efficient manner due in no small
degree to the personal qualities of the Council's Public Analyst, Mr. W.B. Chapman, and his Deputy,
Mr. Burden. Their never failing courtesy and willingness to advise on all matters, important and
trivial, is a model of demeanour which one would like to emulate. This co-operation has resulted in
the Borough obtaining a service upon which it would be difficult to improve. Several visits were
made to food manufacturing premises during the year by members of the Section accompanied by the
Council's Deputy Public Analyst and samples of raw materials as well as finished products were
obtained. In all cases the manufacturers welcomed the visits and the opportunity to discuss
informally their problems with the Council's Deputy Public Analyst. Samples were freely offered
and in no case has any material or product failed to comply with the standards laid down for such
materials.
