Besides dealing with the complaints received, the rodent operatives
treated the sewers twice ; but as in previous years no evidence of any
serious infestation was found. The watercourses in the district were also
treated and other sites where infestations were considered likely were
visited at regular intervals.
Licensed Premises.
These premises are visited regularly, particular attention being
paid to the adequacy and the state of the sanitary accommodation,
the arrangements for the cleansing of the glasses, and, where meals are
provided, the state of the kitchens. A report on these matters is sent
each year to the Licensing Justices.
Premises licensed by the Middlesex County Council for music and
dancing are kept under observation and a report on their state is sent
each year to the County Council.
Rag Flock.
The Rag Flock and Other Filling Material Act, 1951, came into force
on 1st November, 1951. Two classes of premises are recognised. Registered
premises are those where filling material of the types listed, e.g.,
unwoven cotton, unwoven wool, jute, hair, etc., are used in the manufacture
of bedding, toys, baby carriages and other articles of upholstery.
Licensed premises are those where rag flock is manufactured or stored for
distribution to registered premises.
It is now unlawful for upholstery, etc., to be done on any other than
registered premises, though relivening of upholstery can be done elsewhere.
There are a number of premises in the district which will be
registered, but there are none to be licensed.
