(3) Tents, Vans and Sheds.—The operation of the
Smiths Lane Compulsory Purchase Order has meant
the removal from the district of this type of dwelling.
The Barking Corporation Act, 1933 provides that
approval is now necessary before this type of dwelling
can be established in the district.
(4) Underground Sleeping Rooms.—There are no such
occupied rooms in the district.
(5) Offensive Trades.—The number of premises used
for this purpose are as follows:—
Fish Fryers 21
Dealers in Rags and Bones 8
Gut Scraper 1
Fat Melters 2
Fish Skin Scraper 1
Oil Boiler 1
Soap Makers 2
Total 36
Sixty-nine visits were paid to these 36 premises, and
43 contraventions of the byelaws were discovered and
any necessary action taken.
At the oil boiling factory, the installation of which
is of a modern design and the general supervision careful,
certain of our suggestions have been put into effect
and have resulted in some improvement in the emission
of fume, but have not secured the removal of all
nuisance.
(6) Piggeries.—There are four remaining piggeries
in the district.
(7) Stables.—These premises continue to be a source
of trouble. The occupiers are invariably unable
financially to carry out any improvements.
