RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS ACT, 1951
The object of the Act is to secure the use of clean filling materials in
upholstered articles and other articles which are stuffed or lined. Three
premises are registered in connection therewith.
Samples of materials used at each of the registered premises were
obtained and the prescribed Analyst under the Act reported the tests showed
two samples to be satisfactory, and complied with the requirements of the
regulations.
The third sample failed to comply with the requirements relating to
soluble impurities. A follow-up sample from this source was reported as
satisfactory.
MOVABLE DWELLINGS
The camping and caravan site of nearly three acres in the Crystal Palace
Grounds, established in 1951, continues to be occupied.
Suites of water-closets and lavatory basins and hot and cold shower
baths are provided in a brick building on the site and there are suitable
arrangements for the collection and disposal of refuse.
Periodic inspections were made of the camp and it was found on all
visits to be satisfactory.
A licence was granted in respect of one movable dwelling on a building
site.
PET ANIMALS ACT, 1951
This Act came into force on 1st April, 1952, and regulates the sale
of pet animals. Licences were granted to four applicants, subject to conditions
laid down by the Council, these conditions being based on those
recommended by the R.S.P.C.A.
One licensed premises, however, was not considered satisfactory. During
the year the Council appointed a Veterinary Surgeon under the provisions
of the Act, who submitted an unfavourable report on this licensed premises.
As a result the application for re-licensing during the year 1959 was withdrawn.
