BOROUGH ANALYST'S REPORT.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Stepney.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my second Annual Report, dealing
with the work carried out in the Borough Laboratory during the year 1925.
During the year, 1,414 samples were submitted to me for analysis. Of
these, 1,378 were purchased by Inspectors under the Food and Drugs Acts;
31 samples were analysed for the Public Health Department; 4 for the Borough
Engineer's Department; and 1 for a private purchaser.
The 1,378 samples taken under the Food and Drugs Acts comprised 886
formal samples and 492 informal samples.
Table A shows the nature of the samples taken under the Food and Drugs
Acts, and gives the numbers and percentages found to be adulterated.
