HAIRDRESSERS' AND BARBERS' PREMISES.
Byelaws were made in 1937 for the purpose of securing the
cleanliness of any premises used for carrying on the business of a
hairdresser or barber and of the instruments, towels, and materials
used in such premises.
These byelaws have proved useful in maintaining a high standard
in the premises of the Borough.
