PREMISES AND OCCUPATIONS CONTROLLED BY BY-LAWS OB
REGULATIONS.
Offensive Trades.
One only is carried on in the Borough—a tallow melter. This particular business has
been in existence since the year 1780. 37 visits were made to these premises during the year.
No complaints have been received, and the business is well conducted.
Rag and Bone Dealers.
Additional by-laws were made during the year by the London County Council, under
powors given by Section 9 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1908.
The by-laws provide as follows:—
1—A person carrying on the business of a rag and bone dealer shall not sell or
distribute or cause or permit to be sold or distributed any article of food or any
balloon or toy—
(a) in or from any part of the premises used for or in connection with his
business or
(b) in the course of his business while carried on from any cart, barrow or other
vehicle or receptacle used for the collection or disposal of rags, bones, fat,
rabbit skins, or other like articles, or
(c) in any other way connected with his business.
2—A person carrying on the business of a rag and bone dealer who shall offend
against the foregoing by-law shall be liable for every such offence to a penalty of
Five Pounds. Provided nevertheless that the Court before whom any information
may be laid or any proceedings may be taken in respect of any such offence may if
the Court think fit adjudge the payment as a penalty of any sum less than the full
amount of the penalty imposed by this by-law.
There are 32 premises in the Borough in which the business of a rag and bone dealer
is carried on, and special visits were made in order to acquaint the owners with the requirements
of the new by-laws.
Houses Let in Lodgings.
By-laws dealing with these houses, made under power given by Section 6 of the
Housing Act, came into force on March 5th, 1926. Particulars concerning the inspections
made will be found in Table 6 on page 98.
