Suitable by-laws for fried fish vendors, fish curers, and
rag and bone dealers are much needed, but, in connecti0n
with the draft by-laws submitted by the London County
Council, objection was taken during 1909 by the Lambeth
Borough Council on account of the suggested dual control
as between the London County Council and the Borough
Councils, not only as regards the giving of notice of any
such businesses being carried on, but also in relation to
access to any part of the premises by officers of the County
Council, and the provision of a daily penalty, after notice
of any offence, a dual system being unnecessary and likely
to cause friction and useless expense. Further, the Lambeth
Borough Council, in connection with the draft by-laws spproved
of the following two suggested amendments :—
(1) The term "vendor of fried fish" to be defined, with
a view to removing any possible doubt as to
whether the person carrying on the business of a
restaurateur, or other similar business, in which
(ried fish is sold, is included in such term ;
(2) The draft by-law, relating to the business of a rag
and bone dealer, to include "dust-bins."
DAIRIES, MILKSHOPS AND MILK STORES.
11 new milkshops and milk stores have been inspected
during 1909 with a view to registration, and all existing
ones have been, from time to time, under inspection, as
required.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
There were within the Borough of Lambeth at the end of
1908, 24 registered Slaughter-houses, and at the Annual
Licensing of the London County Council, held on October
25th, 1909, the licenses were all renewed.
