Inland Revenue Acts, 1890-1891, and the Revenue Act, 1903, were made

STREET TRADING.
During the year, the Public Health and Housing Committee considered
a Report of the Medical Officer of Health suggesting certain Bye-laws
which should be incorporated in the Street Trading Bye-laws.
The Committee, being of opinion that these suggestions would
considerably strengthen the Bye-laws, submitted them to the Works
Committee.
The suggested alterations were incorporated in the model Bye-laws
and were submitted to the Home Office but were not accepted, the
Home Office pointing out that modifications of the model Bye-laws
may only be made for the purpose of meeting special requirements.
The Meat and Food Inspectors visited and reported upon the storage
accommodation of all applicants for street trading licences who were
dealing in foodstuffs.
In the majority of instances the storage accommodation was
satisfactory, and in the remainder suggestions were made for improving
the storage accommodation.
In these latter cases licences were issued, subject to the storage
accommodation being made satisfactory.
A record is kept in the Public Health Office of street traders
who have been licensed to deal in foodstuffs.
