Rag Flock Act.
There are no premises in the Borough on which Rag Flock is
manufactured.
Of six samples taken from furniture upholsterers, two were
found to be satisfactory, and four contained an excess of soluble
chlorine. Upon further examination one of these was found not
to be flock within the meaning of the Act. A second contained
only a very slight excess of chlorine and no further action was
taken. In the two remaining cases of formal samples procured
one subsequently was certified as satisfactory, and legal proceedings
were instituted against the vendor of the other. The
defendant was allowed the benefit of the First Offenders Act.
