calling attention to the Bye-law.
The Sanitary Inspectors were instructed to report any
breach of the Bye-law observed.
Representations were made to the Home Office, and

Police to report to the Council such offences against the
Bye-law as come to their notice in the course of their
ordinary duties.
During the year under review seven summonses were
taken, when fines of 10s. were imposed in five cases, and
5s. in one case, and one case being dismissed with caution.
