Offensive Trades.
There is only one offensive trade" in the district, viz.:—
Fat extractor. No complaints have been received of the manner
in which the work is carried out at these premises.
Numerous complaints have been received though, about
the rubber industry carried on at Agnes Road. Some misapprehension
exists as to the definition of an offensive trade and the
powers vested in the Council in respect of the establishment and

By Section 112 of the Public Health Act, 1875, it is enacted
that no person shall, after the passing of the Act, establish within
the district of an Urban Authority, without consent, any offensive
trade; that is to say the trade of
Blood boiler.
Bone boiler.
Fellmonger.
Soap boiler.
Tallow melter.
Tripe boiler or
