these cases are forwarded to the Education Department in
order that they may be checked off with the employment
cards that have been issued.
The Bye-laws made under the Education Act, 1921, with
regard to street trading by young persons between fourteen
and sixteen years of age have now been repealed, and new
Bye-laws relating to this matter have been made under the
Children and Young Persons Act, 1933. The Surrey County
Council is the Authority for the administration of this part
of the Act. The duties of supervising these Bye-laws concerning
street trading in Wimbledon are undertaken by the
Wimbledon Corporation on behalf of the Surrey County
Council. The necessary work of supervision is carried out
by the officers of the Public Health Department.
I desire to take this opportunity of again expressing my
appreciation of the co-operation which I have received from
the members of the staff during the year under review.
I am,
Your obedient servant,
HAROLD ELLIS.
