With Respect to the Tkade of a Fish-fkiek.
6. A fish-frier shall not cause or suffer any vessel or
receptacle which has contained wet fish to be kept for a longer
period than twenty-four hours upon the premises where his
trade is carried on, unless such vessel or receptacle has been
cleaned and rendered inoffensive.
7. Every fish-frier shall provide a sufficient number of
vessels or receptacles, properly constructed of galvanised iron
or of some other non-absorbent material and furnished with
closely fitting covers, for the purpose of receiving and conveying
from the premises where his trade is carried on, all waste
fish, guts, garbage and other putrescible refuse.
He shall cause all waste fish, guts, garbage and other
putrescible refuse to be placed in such vessels or receptacles
immediately on its production.
He shall cause all waste fish, guts, garbage and other
putrescible refuse to be removed from the premises in such
vessels or receptacles within thirty-six hours of its production.
8. Every fish-frier shall cause the internal surface above
the floor or pavement of every room or building in which any
process of his trade is carried on to be kept at all times in good
order and repair so as to prevent the absorption therein of any
liquid filth or refuse or any noxious or injurious matter which
may be splashed thereon, and he shall cause the floor or pavement
or such room or building, and all apparatus, utensils and
appliances used therein, and every vessel or receptacle in which
any trade materials or any waste fish, guts, garbage or other
putrescible refuse is placed to be kept as far as practicable
clean.
9. Every fish-frier shall cause the room or enclosure in

means of rendering innocuous all gas or vapour emitted during
the process of frying, from the contents of any pan upon the
premises where trade is carried on.
(ii) He shall cause every stove used for the purpose of his
trade to be provided with side screens and a suitable hood of
hard, smooth and impervious material, and shall cause such
hood to be connected with a flue having a good draught, or he
shall cause every pan in such stove to be completely covered
with a suitable cover having an aperture which shall communicate
directly with such a flue or with a suitable condenser.
(iii) He shall, except where communication is made with
a suitable condenser in accordance with paragraph (ii) of this
byelaw, cause the gas or vapour either to be discharged from
such flue into the external air in such a manner and at such a
height as to admit of the diffusion of the gas or vapour without
noxious or injurious effects, or to pass from such flue through
a fire, or into a suitable condensing apparatus, in such a
manner as effectually to consume the gas or vapour, or to
deprive the same of all noxious or injurious properties.
Provided always that the requirements of paragraphs (ii)
iand (iii) of this byelaw shall not apply to any premises where
