Offensive Businesses—Stone Crushing, etc.
The Council informed the Standing Joint Committee that they
supported representations which had been made to the Joint Committee
for the promotion of legislation making it an offence to establish anew,
without the sanction of the County Council, the business of stone crushing
or mixing, or any trade from the carrying on of which a nuisance would
be created by dust emitted from the plant used on the premises, on lines
similar to those provided in Section 19 of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891.
Milkshops, Dairies, etc.
The premises are reported upon on page 59.
Rag and Bone Dealers.
Occasion for taking legal proceedings for offences against the London
County Council Byelaws did not arise.
Verminous Rooms.
Verminous rooms are brought to the notice of owners upon the
"Intimations", which are followed, if necessary, by Statutory Notices
as there are usually other nuisances or defects upon the premises.
Notices are also served under Section 10 of the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1922. 283 rooms were sprayed with Solution "D."
A fluid insecticide is issued at the Disinfectant Depots, and sprayers
loaned to tenants in order to rid rooms and contents of bugs. 409½ gallons
of insecticide were distributed during the year.
A special report on Bug Infestation is printed as an appendix (page
139).
Licensed Premises Urinals.
53 urinals on licensed premises were found to be in insanitary condition
and were subsequently cleansed.
