Steam Whistles Act, 1872.
Complaints were received of annoyance caused by the blowing
of a steam siren at a soap works. The firm concerned were
interviewed, eventually installed an electrical control, and reduced
the times from 30 seconds to 10 seconds at each operation.
Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1885.
Public Health Act, 1925.
Bye-laws under Municipal Corporations Act, 1882.
Tents, Vans and Sheds.
As a result of pressure brought to bear, several vans which
were structurally unsatisfactory and badly overcrowded, were removed
during the year from land in the Custom House area.
The vans owned by the various showmen at seasonal fairs
are not usually a source of trouble.
During December two vans were found on land near Churchill
Road, and were removed after notice to the occupiers and the
land owner.
Sixty-five visits were made during the year to lands occupied
by caravans.
