on in the District.
The term "offensive trade" as defined by Sec. 112 of the

Act, 1907, in substitution thereof it is defined as "any other
noxious or offensive trade, business or manufacture," moreover a
Local Authority may now make bye-laws with respect to any
offensive trade in order to prevent any noxious or injurious effects
arising therefrom.
