from barges but few of the boats have living quarters. The
boats are worked in short stages and the crews usually come

SANITARY CONVENIENCES
The conveniences attached to licensed premises in this
Borough compare very favourably with similar places in
all other towns I have visited. Practically all the premises
now have glazed slabs or stalls, and the minimum of labour
is required to keep the conveniences in clean condition.
Comparatively few of the licencees have failed to keep the
premises in order.
A report upon the condition of the sanitary conveniences
is supplied to the Licensing Bench upon request, and the
very satisfactory conditions which now exist ate due in no
small measure to the support and co-operation afforded by
the Bench to your Council.
SALE OF POISONS
Six visits were made to premises other than pharmacies
to ascertain that the proper records of sales of poisons
were being kept and that the poisons were stored in suitable
places.
The poisons which are the subject of these visits are
used in connection with horticulture and agriculture in the
form of weed killers. The administration of the Act passed
to the County Council in May, 1936, and the Corporation
is not now responsible for this work.
SHOPS ACTS 1912-1934
