Bye-laws for the regulation of these premises were adopted
by the Council on the 19th June, 1899.
Tents, Vans, Sheds, etc.
The district is not much frequented by gipsies, and there
are no persons occupying tents and sheds. There is a more or less
permanent encampment of van dwellers (showmen) opposite Acton
Green, and the average number of such vans during the year is 9.
Bye-laws were made by the Council on the 29th October, 1906,
and are found to be quite adequate for the purpose of dealing with
this class of dwelling.
Bakehouses.
Of these, there are 7 underground and 18 aboveground.
In 18 cases slight sanitary defects were found to exist, which were
remedied by request. These defects were principally:—
Want of lime-washing.

and bacon) were surrendered:—
