Suggested New By-laws under Section 9 of the London
County Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, for
regulating the conduct of the businesses of a
Fish Curer, Fried Fish Vendor, and Rag and Bone
Dealer.
Suggested by-laws under Section 9 of the London County
Council (General Powers) Act, 1908, for regulating the conduct
of the businesses of a fish curer, fried fish vendor and
rag and bone dealer, framed by the London County
Council, have again been considered during 1912, and
objection has been taken, in connection therewith, to the
suggested duality of administrative control sought to be
established by the by-laws, for which dual control there
appears to be no provision in the Act. A Public Enquiry
was suggested prior to the confirmation of the by-laws.
The Borough Council, further, again* suggested (a) the
insertion in the by-laws of the word "dust-bins," so that
the words "business of a rag and bone dealer" should be
held to mean, in addition, "the business of a dealer in
dust-bin refuse," and (b) that a definition should be laid
down of the words "vendor of fried fish." Suggestion (a)
has been incorporated, practically, in by-law No. 2,
applying, however, only to "premises wherein; any infectious
disease exists."
The by-laws await the final confirmation of the Local
Government Board.
REFUSE AND MANURE DEPOTS
The 13 Public Depots, situated in the Borough, were
under constant (daily, during the summer months) supervision
during 1912, and, in connection with the Destructors
* The Council made the same suggestions in 1909.
