Storage of Petroleum.
The General Purposes Committee considered a letter from the
Council of the Borough of Battersea with reference to a case in which
the London County Council had issued a licence to store 24,000 gallons
of petroleum spirit on a site regarded by the Borough Council as being
very unsuitable for the purpose. It was urged that in future Borough
Councils should be consulted before such licences are granted. The
General Purposes Committee were strongly of opinion this course should
be adopted and recommended the Council that the London County
Council be requested to consult the respective Metropolitan Borough
Councils before granting a license for storage of petroleum spirit in any
of their Boroughs.
In response to representations, the London County Council stated
that before granting licenses for storage of petroleum spirit in bulk
extending 10,000 gallons, the Council will notify the Council of the Borough
in which it is desired to store the spirit, of the proposal.
