 Results of the inspections will be made known at public meeting next Thursday afternoon in the Connecticut Light & Power Com pany auditorium. Films depicting proper sanitation methods will be shown.
 Dr. Godfrey pointed out that the survey will be in addition to the continuing periodic inspection of eating places by the Health De- partment.
 During the survey period the mo- bile laboratory will be located at a central point and field inspectors will visit restaurants in all parts of the city to take meteorological cul- lures of washed dishes, utensils and glasses which have sanitized in the customary manner used in those places. The score" of each inspec- tion can be found by the restaurant operator at the meeting Thursday.

 Inadequate washing of dishes and glasses is the principal offense, the health officer said.
 Other common faults he listed in- clude poor storage of perishables, unclean storage rooms, unsatisfac- tory toilet facilities, and poor gen. eral policing.
