One hundred and seventy-three visits were paid to these 39
premises, and 21 contiaventions of the bye-laws were discovered and
any necessary action taken.
During the year the Council approved two applications to
commence the business of soap boiler. Although these applications
were granted, the firms concerned had not commenced operations
at the end of the year.
(f) Refuse Tips.—Situated at West Bank are certain privately
owned tips, which were the subject of complaint. Proceedings
were instituted in respect of two contraventions of the bye-laws

Since that date discussions between the Local Authority and
the tip owners have taken place, and it is hoped that there will not
be any repetition of the conditions which were the subject of
complaint.

removed from occupied dwellings, but their presence on the marsh
