Common Lodging Houses, Houses Let in Lodgings, Mews,
and Piggeries, I have no occasion to make special mention.
Offensive Trades.
There are 2 registered offensive trades in the district (fat extractors)
and one licensed (Fertilizer Manufacturer).
These premises have been frequently inspected during the year.
In October serious complaints were received with regard to a nuisance
emitted from the licensed premises, which complaints I can testify
were not without foundation, and I understand the Council intend
to take proceedings in the matter.
Slaugnter Houses.
I am pleased to be able to report that the number of slaughter
houses (four) has diminished by one, viz., that of Mr. George Morris,
018 Enfield Road. The premises are now used as a carriers' depot.
Public-house Urinals.
In May, I presented a detailed report to the Council with regard
to the offence against public decency caused by the situation of many
of the urinals in connection with the Public-houses. You inspected
all the premises with me upon a later occasion, and decided which
should be dealt with.
Circulars were sent to the Brewers, and in all but one instance
our requirements were carried out. The Clerk, I understand, is at
present dealing with the defaulter.
