while the latter passed an ordinance designed to insure safety 

 in the keeping of dogs within the city limits. 



No oleomargarine has been found on sale in this division. 

 Agent Joseph M. Quigley ascertained that two small shipments 

 of this product had been made by a Western manufacturer to 

 keepers of boarding houses in Rochester. It was impossible to 

 locate the consignees, to whom the goods were billed under 

 fictitious names. It was learned, however, that a selling agency 

 for the product existed in the Tenth Division, and the facts 

 were reported to Assistant Commissioner James P. Clark. A 

 successful prosecution of the dealer followed. 



Most of the vinegar sold in this division is the product of 

 factories and of good quality. Every sample taken during the 

 year was found to be above the legal standard. The law relat- 

 ing to the sale and shipment of calves and veal was well ob- 

 served. No cases were made under this statute. 



It gives me pleasure to acknowledge your cordial support in 

 all matters to which I have called your attention during the 

 year. I desire also to commend the faithful service of the four 

 agents of the Department assigned to this division, and the zeal 

 manifested by attorneys selected by the Attorney-General to 

 prosecute cases reported by me.
