§ S.— STORAGE AND REMOVAL OP OFFENSIVE
MATTERS. CLEANSING AND SCAVENGING.
The substitution of mechanical for horse traction is rapidly reducing the
amount of horse droppings in the roadways and the amount of manure stored
in mews, and incidentally the number of flies.
§ 9.—NUISANCES, &c.
Offensive Trades.— The two licensed noxious trade premises in St. Pancras
have been regularly inspected, and the tallow-melting works in Tudor Place
have been kept under continual observation.
Effluvia Businesses.— In addition to the above businesses producing offensive
effluvia, the businesses of a vendor of fried fish, a fish-curer, and a rag and
bone dealer have been brought under control by Section 10, Part II., Sanitarv
Provisions, of the London County Council (General Powers) Act. 1908. By
this section the County Council may make by-laws for regulating the conduct
of these businesses, and with respect to the premises, utensils, and appliances
used in connection with these businesses, and it is the duty of the Borough
Councils to enforce these by-laws. The framing of these by-laws is still under
consideration.
Smoke.— During the year the usual observations of smoke shafts were made
by the inspectors and re-inspections made after notices served.
The Inspectors limit their observations of a chimney to half an hour, and
only prolong the observation beyond this period so long as a nuisance is
actually being committed.
