Contraventions reported by the Streets Nuisance Inspector during the year resulted in the issue of
thirteen summonses, four of which could not be served and one case was not proceeded with. Eight
convictions were secured with penalties and costs amounting to £21 6s. Od.
Street Photographers.
A local byelaw, made by the Council under section 146 of the London Government Act, 1924, came
into operation on the 1st August, 1952, prohibiting the importuning by a street photographer of any
person, in certain prescribed streets or public places, for the purpose of taking or selling any photograph.
An offender against the byelaw is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £5 Os. Od. As
the administration and enforcement of most other " good rule and government " byelaws have been
referred to the Public Health Committee, a similar course was followed in regard to this byelaw, more
particularly as the officers of the Department including the Streets Nuisance Inspector, are continually
about the streets.
During 1964 the Council applied for two summonses which resulted in each case in conviction and
a fine of £1 0s. 0d. with ten shillings and sixpence costs.
