The articles that contain poisons to which Part II of the Act refers
are, in the main, cleansing materials, disinfectants, gardening aids and,
being normally stable in type and manufacture, require little if any
sampling. With four exceptions all the poisons listed are sold in the container
in which they are received.
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
The number of employment agencies in the Borough at the end of
1969 was 34. During the course of the year eleven new licences were
issued while over the same period, by reason of agencies changing hands
or closing down, ten were cancelled.
Visits were made to the agencies to ensure that the requirements of
the byelaws relative to the keeping of records and other matters were
being observed and no problems or difficulties calling for action by the
Local Authority were found.
