Factories, Offensive Trades.
In 1911 Section 51 of the Public Health Acts
Amendment Act, 1907, was adopted in the district, and
in July, 1912, the Council made an order declaring each
of the following trades and businesses to be an Offensive
Trade:—Blood Drier, Tanner, Leather Dresser, Fat
Melter or Fat Extractor, Glue Maker, Size Maker, Gut
Scraper, Fish Frier, Manufacturer of Manure from fish,
fish offal, blood or other putrescible animal matter, and
the manufacture of animal charcoal.
The Bye-laws regxilating the carrying on of these
trades were revised, and afterwards received the consent
of the Local Government Board; these are now in force
in the district.
The trades of this description at present carried on
in the district are:—Fish Frier, Fat Extractor, and the
Manufacture of Manure from fish and fish offal.
The various premises at which these trades arc
carried on have been periodically inspected during the
year and found in satisfactory condition.
