PETROLEUM ACTS, 1871 TO 1879, AND ORDERS
IN COUNCIL.
Thirteen licences were granted to store petroleum.
These licences were for varying quantities, from 14 gallons
to 2,250 gallons.
In two instances I reported to the Council that the
regulations under which the licences were granted had not
been complied with.
The Council decided that the offenders should be written
to and informed that in future they would be dealt with under
Section 9 of the Act of 1871, which enacts that "Any licensee
violating any of the conditions of his licence shall be deemed
to be an unlicensed person."
The warnings had the desired effect, and the quantity
allowed to be kept in each case has not been exceeded.
I am,
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
CHARLES WILLIAM HILL,
Sanitary and Housing Inspector.
