Offensive Trades
Establishment Orders have been granted to two companies who
carry on the offensive trades respectively of (a) fellmonger and (b)
fatboiler.
(a) Messrs Gaston Morrell, Ferndale Road ;
(b) Messrs. Lepard, Wandsworth Road.
These two orders are renewable annually and at no time has either
business given rise to any complaint.
Drainage Plans
All plans are registered with the Borough Engineer but the
Sanitary Inspectors are responsible for seeing that the work is
carried out in accordance with the drainage by-laws. 31 plans
of new buildings and 116 plans of alteration to existing drains were
deposited. In addition combined drainage was carried out in 17
cases of which seven were cases of relaying defective combined
drains for which no order had been made by the Council and no
plans could be found, and which therefore were deemed to be
sewers repairable by the Council.
Rent and Mortgage Interest Restrictions Acts
Applications were made accompanied by the statutory fee of one
shilling for the issue of 34 certificates enabling the statutory tenant
to withhold a portion of the rent and for the issue of 27 determining
certificates to cancel corresponding enabling certificates previously
issued.

Information was forwarded to the District Surveyor on 170
occasions during the year of the presence of structures which were
considered to be dangerous to life or limb.
