Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, 1875 to 1907.—Fifteen
preliminary or test samples of milk and one of sugar were
examined by the Council's Analyst, fourteen of which were
genuine, one being adulterated or inferior and another
slightly inferior or deteriorated. With regard to the one
which was adulterated or inferior, it was found to have been
issued by a dealer outside the district, and information was
transmitted to the Inspector in charge of the district concerned.
Petroleum Acts.—Seventy-one applications were received
for permission to keep petroleum, 66 being for the renewal
of existing licences, and 5 for new ones.
Three hundred and sixty-one inspections were made of
the various premises in respect of which licences had been
issued.
During the last few years the provision of underground
tanks for the storage of petroleum has been increasing. The
installation of these tanks calls for considerable amount of
supervision, both during the progress of the work, and on its
completion.
