Analyst of the District, Mr. C. Heisch, of 79, Mark Lane, E.C.,
whereby samples and articles desired by any resident in the
District to be analysed may be left with the Secretary of the
Board during office hours, at their Offices, and no further trouble
in the matter need then fall on such resident, as, in the event of
such sample proving upon analysis to be adulterated, the resident
is not compelled to prosecute the seller. A fee of 2s. 6d., which
must be paid at once, will be charged for each sample brought by
a resident for analysis, the balance of the analyst's fee of 10s. 6d.
will be paid by the Board.
"Care should be taken that the samples brought for analysis
are in the same condition as when bought. The name and address
of the seller must be supplied, and the buyer must sign the proper
form, which will be prepared at the Board's Offices. All samples
received for analysis are accepted in strict confidence, and the
result will be communicated to the buyer direct by post.
"The only expense to the buyer is the payment of the beforementioned
fee of 2s. 6d.
"If residents within the District have reasonable grounds for
suspecting any seller of adulterating, they may write to the Board,
giving the name and address of the seller and the article suspected
and enclosing a double fee of 5s., when the Board will direct their
Inspectors of Nuisances to take the necessary steps for obtaining
an analysis without further reference or expense to the resident;
and if the article is found to be adulterated further steps will be
taken by the Board. Such communications will also be received
in strict confidence. No notice can be taken of anonymous communications,
although the fee may be enclosed."
