Small quantities of Carbide of Calcium are also kept at
most of the Cycle and Motor shops in the District, and in
those instances where it was found that the quantity exceeded
51bs. but was not greater than 281bs., the occupiers were
requested to carry out the provisions of the Order in Council
made in 1897.
No notices were received under the Secretary of State's
Regulations from persons keeping motor cars in the District
in respect to the storing of petroleum spirit within 20 feet
of any building. In order to facilitate an inspection of these
premises the Clerk to the Council endeavoured to obtain
from the County Authorities a list of the names and addresses
of the persons licenced by them, but they refused to supply
this information on the grounds that the Local Government
Board's Regulations did not give any one save an Officer of
Inland Revenue the right to inspect the Register.
In conclusion, it gives me much pleasure to acknowledge
the valuable help given by your assistant inspector, Mr. C. M.
Robinson, and the other members of the sanitary staff in carrying
out the work recorded in this report.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
E. J. FRANKLIN, A.R.San.I., Etc.,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
February, 1908.
