schools on account of infectious disease among children.

Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act, 1951.
The Rag Flock and Other Filling Materials Act, 1951, was operative as
from the 1st November, 1951, and four premises have so far been registered.
There are no premises requiring to be licensed as there is no manufacture or
storage of rag flock in the Borough.
One of the difficulties apparent in this Act is the exemption from registration
of premises where re-making and re-conditioning of any article is carried
out. It is known that at least eleven establishments dealing in secondhand
articles are thus exempt from registration. Therefore, there would appear
to be no barrier to the continued sale of articles which may contain contaminated
filling materials.
National Assistance Act, 1948, Section 47.
It was not necessary, during 1951, to remove to suitable premises any
