No. 740, P.H., 22ND APRIL 1931

        Prosecutions were launched by the local bodies in some of the cases and the
vendors were fined. It is surprising to note that no legal proceedings were taken
by the Coimbatore Municipal Council even though the food samples sent for
examination from the municipality were in several cases grossly adulterated. The
Chairman, Municipal Council, Ootacamund, is advised to see that samples are sent
regularly and in small batches and that greater discrimination is used in the selec-
tion of samples with a view to find out dishonest vendors.

(By order of the Government, Ministry of Local Self-Government.)
