The Council's attention was drawn during 1909 to the
existence of a nuisance connected with an offensive trade
(fat melting or fat extracting) at the Arches, 69-71 Lilfora
Road, such offensive trade having apparently been established
without the written consent of the London County
Council as required by Section 19 of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891. For further particulars see pp. 184-18").
Proposed By-Laws regulating the Businesses of Fried
Fish Vendors, Fish Curers and Kag and Bone Healers.
A letter dated' April 12th, 1909, was received from the
London County Council, enclosing draft by-laws for regulating
the conduct of the businesses of (1) a vendor of fried
fish, (2) a fish curer, and (3) rag and bone dealer, with a
view to the Metropolitan City and Borough Councils considering
the same, and suggesting any amendments, cr
alterations, that might be thought necessary. The by-laws
are made by the London County Council under section 9,
sub-section 1 of the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1908, under which draft copies are to be sent to the
Metropolitan Borough Councils in accordance with section
114 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, application to
be made in due course, for confirmation, to the Local Government
Board. Under the by-law, existing fish curers and fried
fish vendors' premises are exempt. (Vide By-law 16.)
