The Commissioner is reported as saying that There were two individual cases of proteering in 1916 and that had these cases occurred since the passage of the cost of living Order-in-Council, he would consider it his duty to recommend that The Marquis of Qneenshury hi;:ii!:.' praised the resources of northw-2:`.

This may be a `rough way of Cstllililtlxlz the gross margin when dealing with small _S,'LlI'CS, but when dealing with gures the size that Mr. O'Connor has to deal with, :1 very small fraction of a cent per pound of error makes a very important difference in the total, and one must be careful to m:Ll sure that the outgoing product is the same fmislled merchandise of the incoming product reported on.

C.

The reason of this was that through failure to inquire the Department entirely overlooked the fact that product may come in as pork and, through the process of niann|':icture, go out as Bacon or, in another instance. enter the factory as lrcef and go out in the form of canned meats; for example: much of the product which came in as pork, and which was entered on the pork sheet submitted to the Commissioner-al)ont which he makes no mention-was cured and left the factory in the form of Bacon, and was. therefore, entered on the outrzoim: side of the Bacon sheet--the result is that the Bacon sales are increased by this amount over the incoming stocks of Bacon. and, like- wise, the sheet showing sales cf pork is reduced by the amount that went out in the form of Bacon.
