PREVENTION OF DAMAGE BY PESTS ACT. 1949
The service under this Act continued, rats and mice being destroyed by the
two Rodent Operatives acting under the direction of the Public Health Inspectors,
While householders receive a free service, a charge is still made to occupiers
of business premises.
RIDING ESTABLISHMENTS ACT. 1939
The two riding schools in the borough operate under the supervision of the
Corporation of London, who act under delegated powers. Both schools are satisfactorily
conducted, and the animals are well cared for.
DISEASES OF ANIMALS ACT. 1950
I was very glad when the Council decided to delegate the administration of
this Act to the Corporation of the City of London. I consider that one authority
should have been responsible for this work throughout Greater London. I
appreciate that the "animal" population is not high, but if an outbreak should
occur, several authorities would automatically be involved.
Happily, the year passed without incident, and it has been a pleasure to
deal with the Corporation of London officials.
