In three cases the firms concerned put forward schemes of reconstruction and in a further three cases it was resolved that no action be taken, the infringements not justifying a])plication to the Court for jMagistrates’ Orders. Police Court proceedings were taken against two steelworks, a klagistrates’ Order being granted in one case and an adjournment for six months being allowed in the second case to enable the necessary reconstruction work to be carried out.
