structure of the premises on which such business is carried on, and the mode in
which application is to be made for sanction to establish such business anew, within
the limits of the Metropolis (except the City of London and the liberties thereof).
In pursuance of the above Act by which the Metropolitan Board of Works is constituted
the Local Authority for the Metropolis, as defined in the same Act (except the
City of London and the liberties thereof), the said Metropolitan Board of Works (for the
purposes of these Bye-Laws called the "Board") doth hereby make the following

be constantly provided with an adequate supply of water, which shall be received and
stored in cisterns, or other suitable receptacles, properly constructed, and he shall cause
such premises at all times to be well and thoroughly ventilated by suitable openings,
windows, Louvre boards, or otherwise. He shall cause every part of such premises to be
thoroughly washed from time to time, as often as may be necessary, and to be kept at all
times thoroughly clean.
2. Every Tripe Boiler shall cause every inner wall of the premises on which his
business is carried on to be kept at all times thoroughly clean and in good order and

garbage, offal, and filth. He shall, from time to time, as often as occasion may require,
cause such manure, garbage, offal, and filth to be placed in such tubs, boxes, and vessels,
and to be removed from his premises without delay.

or used upon, or in connection with, the premises on which his business may be
carried on, to be kept at all times thoroughly clean, so as to prevent any offensive smell.
