SYSTEM OF INSPECTION. 



The irregularities that crept into the manufacture of salt, deterio- 

 rating its quality and value, soon made it evident that some system 

 of inspection should have to be adopted to protect the careful 

 manufacturer against the ignorance and carelessness of others. 



As early as the year 1865, a system of local inspection was adopt- 

 ed by a number of the salt manufacturers, which had a tendency to 

 improve a portion of the salt product. The inspection, however, 

 not being a general one, and there being no State law by which of- 

 fenders could be punished, the effectiveness of the inspection was 

 greatly diminished, and it soon became evident that some more 

 stringent system, backed by a State law, would be the only way to 

 secure uniformity of manufacture. 



To meet this point, a committee of the then existing Saginaw and 

 Bay Salt Association was appointed in 1868 to draft a law meeting 

 the wants of the salt manufacturers. The law as perfected by the 

 Association was presented at the next session of the State Legisla- 

 ture and passed by them — approved March 6th, 1869, and amended 

 by an Act approved April i6th, 1875. 



AN ACT TO REGULATE THE MANUFACTURE AND PROVIDE 

 FOR THE INSPECTION OF SALT. 



Section i. The People of the State of Michigan enact, That no salt 

 manufactured in this State after this act takes effect shall be sold
