During the year there was only one further
extension of the Act, namely to Salem in
April 1932. It will be seen from the tables
that there has been a very great improvement
in the number of samples. The total num
-ber of samples submitted has increased from
1,777 to 3,183 and in every one of the
municipalities there has been an increase.
Many of them are now submitting a number
approximating to their official quota of 180
samples per year.
