tons of dry bones, hoofs, and limed glue pieces on
the premises, but no accumulation of an offensive
character. In the building where size is boiled
there is a faint smell of size, but this is not perceptible
outside I am informed that the vapour
from the boilers is passed through the furnace.
I have not found anything on which I can advise
the Yestry to take legal proceedings, but a nuisance
is liable to arise from time to time according to the
manner in which the business is conducted, and as
this is one of the offensive trades which are under
the supervision of the London County Council the
complaint should be brought under their notice.
Complaint has been made of a nuisance on the
premises of Alfred Bowes, spelter manufacturer,
Wild's Rents.
There is a low building with defective roof and
sides; from each end and the roof issue clouds of
white vapour, which can be smelt at some distance.
Messrs. Shaw & Co., curriers and Japanners, believe
that the smoke and dust are injurious to their
business. If the matter cannot be dealt with as a
smoke nuisance, I should advise that steps be taken
to have the building properly enclosed, and that a
suitable chimney be erected to consume the vapour.
