There has been a slight falling off in the number of samples of materials submitted by Government Departments for testing. At the end of the year four samples of paint materials, supplied for use on a Government house, were submitted by a sub-department of the P.W.D., the first for very many years. Of the four samples, only one was genuine. Although probably 75% does not represent the amount of adulterated material supplied to the Government, it is evident that more help could be given by this Laboratory in ensuring that materials supplied to the Government are genuine. Full use is made of this Laboratory by the Naval Authorities in testing their local supplies of kerosene and petrol and in testing their fuel oil, coals, and battery acids, but except for isolated instances, no general use of the facilities of this Laboratory is made by Government Departments.
During the year, all the books in the old City Hall Library and some from Central Magistracy were fumigated in batches (6) with Hydrocyanic Acid gas. The strong rooms and Library of the Colonial Secretary's Office were also treated with the same fumigant.
During the year, every consignment of coal for the Harbour Department and the P.W.D. was sampled and tested here in order to arrive at the price to be paid to the contractor.
