Underhill cottages, six trough closets of insanitary
type abolished and twelve water closets erected in lieu
thereof.
Arkley Copse, Arkley, cesspool abolished and drainage
connected to sewer.
123, Wood Street, privy abolished through closure of
house.
Very few cesspools, earth, privy or pail closets now
exist in the district, and those few remaining will be
abolished as opportunity presents itself.
There are however a few cottages at Arkley where it
will not be possible to install the water carriage system until
a sewer is laid which will enable them to be drained into it.
In the meantime the Council undertake the cleansing of the
earth closets.
ICE CREAM, FRIED FISH, AND POTATO SHOPS.
The trade of Fish Frier having been declared offensive
by sanction of the Local Government Board, steps will be
taken as soon as Byelaws are in force dealing with it, to
regulate the conditions under which this commodity can be
prepared, and incidentally that of Potato frying, where both
are carried on together, although this latter does not
constitute an offensive trade of itself.
The power of dealing with such premises hitherto has
been very limited.

accordance with section 133 H.M. Inspector was notified in
each instance.

once notified to remedy the act, neglect, or default.
