Conveyance of Arsenic

Mr Bidwell moved—"That the attention of the Government be drawn to the insecure packing on arsenic, and that this Conference considers that all arsenic imported should be packed in properly soldered packages." He pointed out that the farming community used a very large amount of arsenic for dipping, &c., and in the out stations it went out with stores.

Mr Grigg seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.
