In this Bye-law "builder" means the builder, contractor,
or person actually carrying out the work, but does not include a
workman in the employ of such builder, contractor or person.
The draft Bye-law was in accordance with requests made by the
Poplar and other Borough Councils, and with the addition of the words
"and he shall be liable to the penalties provided for a breach of the said
Bye-laws" it is in the terms approved by the Council on the 25th April
last. The Local Government Board intimated that it would not raise
any objection to the principle of the proposed Bye-law.
The builder has already been made responsible under the drainage
Bye-laws and the Bye-laws requiring deposit of plans.
The Public Health and Housing Committee recommended the Council
that the Bye-law as proposed be approved.

Verminous Rooms.
Verminous rooms are still brought to the notice of owners upon the
"Intimations" which are followed, if necessary, by "Statutory Notices,"
more especially as there are generally other defects upon the premises,
and certainly verminous premises are in such a state as to be a nuisance
to health, and owners, if they do not already know, are informed when
defects are being dealt with under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891,
that the vermin must be got rid of, otherwise the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1904, will be brought into operation.
* For the Cleansing of Verminous Persons see pages 102-104.
