Petroleum and Carbide
During the year licences were in force in respect of 65 installations for petroleum,
and 2 for carbide of calcium.
There was a considerable increase in the holding of petrol, and a corresponding increase
in the number of inspections. The responsibility for this work is found to interfere with
general public health routine work, and consideration may have to be given to the transfer
of these duties away from the Public Health Department.
Celluloid and Cinematograph Films Act, 1922
There are 2 licences in force for the purpose of stripping and making celluloid solution
from cinematograph films. Inspections have revealed no infringements.
