![or HO age was sliown on the sample. They are liowex'er, included in table II, in connection with biological sampling. This leaves a net tigure of 2714 samples e.xamined for clean- liness, including 44() ungraded samples. The position regard- ing the ungraded samples is set out below, in table I. The position regarding graded samples is set out in the schedules at the end of this section. Table I. Sanitary Area. Kukal. Satisfactory. Unsatisfaclury. Total Alston 5 1 6 Border 52 21 73 Cockermouth 47 28 75 linnerdale 22 IH 38 Millom ,. 63 21 84 Penrith 8 12 20 Wigton 44 33 77 Urban. Cockermouth — 1 1 Keswick 7 — 7 Maryport 2 — 2 Penrith 10 10 20 Boroughs. Workington 13 6 19 Whitehaven 11 13 24 284 182 448 The above table calls for little comment, except that the proportion of satisfactory to unsatisfactorj^ samples has risen very substantially. This is very satisfactory, particularly as the total number of samples examined is considerably higher than for 1947. I do not wish to start hares in this closing analysis of the position, but it is, of course, obvious at a glance, that the results are much better in some districts than in others and much the same position prevails in this matter as in the previous year. In addition to the above 2786 samples, a consideiable (]uantity of (pialifying samples, actually 398, were taken in connection with applications for tuberculin-tested and accredit- ed licences. 'I'he following table shows the percentage of samples positive for tubercle in the past six years. :—](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2913304x_0077.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
