The major portion of this work is done before and after
office hours and on Sundays and public holidays.
As a result of reports to the Education Authority proceedings
were instituted against a man for employing a boy
in contravention of the Bye-laws in respect of two days, and
he was fined twenty shillings in each case. I would mention
that this particular offender had been warned on a number
of occasions, but failed to appreciate the seriousness of his
offence.
Fouling of Footways by Dogs.—The Bye-laws made by
the Borough Council in this matter were confirmed by the
principal Secretary of State for the Home Department and
came into operation in April. Considerable time has been
devoted to work in connection with these Bye-laws in the
evenings when the offences are most prevalent and many
offenders have been warned. One of the chief evasions of
the Bye-law is that immediately the dogs are brought outside
the premises they are released from their leads thus bringing
them outside the control of the Bye-laws.
I desire to record my appreciation of the loyal support
and assistance rendered by my Staff, and to acknowledge
the kind co-operation of Dr. Gilmour, Medical Officer of
Health, and my colleagues of other Departments.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
HENRY JOHNSON, F.S.I.A., M.R.S.I.,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
