The Public Health and Housing Committee considered the reference
back from the Council of their recommendation that they should be empowered
to act on behalf of the Council in respect of any proceedings
which it might be necessary to take to enforce the Bye-laws made by the
London County Council for regulating the businasses of Fish Curer and
Fried Fish Vendor. The Bye-laws in question had been under consideration
for several years past and the revised draft of the present
Bye-laws was finally approved by the Borough Council on 5th June, 1913.
Copies of the Bye-laws were forwarded to members of the Council.
The Bye-laws had been approved by the Home Secretary and are now
in operation. It is the duty of the Borough Council to administer the
Bye-laws, and in default the London County Council may take any proceedings
necessary and recover the cost from the Borough Council. It
is desirable the Public Health and Housing Committee should be empowered
to authorise any necessary proceedings to be taken under the
Bye-laws, and they repeated their recommendation to the Council.
"That the Public Health and Housing Committee be empowered
to authorize any proceedings to be taken under the Byelaws
made by the London County Council, under the London
County Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, relating to the conduct
of the businesses of Fish Curer and Fried Fish Vendor."
