(a) Offensive Trades. There are only two premises on the register,comprising two rag and bone dealers. The premises were found to be satisfactory during the 1U visits which were made, and no action beyond destruction of rats was necessary, (b) Tents,Vans,Sheds etc. No licences authorising persons to use land as sites for caravan dwellings have been issued, 15 persons were granted licences to station caravan dwellings on approved sites. 112 visits to and re¬ inspections of sites were made. It is anticipated that there will be further increases in the number of applications for licences consequent on an increasing demand to use this alternative type of living accommodation under the prevailing housing difficulties* (c) Canal Boats. The amount of canal traffic has become very small and no boats have been inspected during the year at the Wharf and Locks or along the course of the Canal. There were two motor boats and two butty boats on the register at the end of the year* HOUSING. - • Introductory. Some progress was made in the repair of dwelling- blouses during the year and owners and agents have endeavoured to satisfy the requirements of notices as expeditiously as possible in the present difficult circumstances. The continued necessity for economy i*n ]±>our and materials to assist construction of new houses has meant that only urgent repairs can be undertaken and although the condition of many sub¬ standard houses is deteriorating, the resumption o if extensive reconditioning must be postponed.
