CVIII THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 



An Order in Council of 16th October, 1913, provides for the estab- 

 lishment of Sub-Laboratories, in organic connection with the main 

 Laboratories at Ottawa, at the following places, viz : Halifax, Winnipeg 

 and Vancouver. 



It is hoped that these laboratories can be put into working 

 order in the course of the year, and it is believed that they will fill a 

 needed want, since the wide extent of our country from east to west, 

 makes it practicably impossible to secure efficient inspection of foods 

 and drugs until more localized points of analysis are available.
