The use of one slaughter-house in the Borough was discontinued
during the year, and the name of the premises was removed from
the Register.
Six applications for the permission of the Council to establish
the trade of a fish frier were made, and three were granted.
An application to continue the trades of tripe boiler, bone
boiler, fat extractor, fat melter, blood boiler and blood drier was
received, and permission given to carry on the trades for a further
limited period.
Two applications for permission to carry on the trade of a dealer
in rags and bones were received, one of which was granted.
The premises where offensive trades are carried on have been
inspected systematically during the year in order to ensure that the
bye-laws are adhered to. No infringements of the bye-laws were
found to occur.
Smoke Abatement.—This subject is of far reaching importance
as it vitally concerns the health and well being of the people.
In addition, atmospheric pollution has a deleterious effect upon
the buildings in the district.
