    Company had made further improvements in their methods during the past twelve months, and were at present considering other opinions which they thought would probably obviate any cause for complaint and contending that when the In¬ spector visited the premises on the 2nd there was no smell outside the premises, the same if at all being confined to the works, also contending that when the Medical Officer visited he complained of nothing, but one or two pools of water standing in the roadway, which was due to the rain on the morning of that day The letter further stated that the Company would be glad to comply with the Inspector's instruc¬ tion and trusted there would be no further cause for anyone to trouble the Council or Inspector respecting the works A discussion on the matter then took place and the Medical Officer and the Inspector recommended that Sum¬ monses should be issued againt the Company for breach of Bye-Laws Nos 9, 10, 37, and 38, relating to the regulation of offensive trades in this district. It was resolved that proceedings be taken at the Brentford Police Court against Messrs. Hornett Foster & Co., Ltd., of Greenford Green, for breaches of Nos. 9, 10, 37,and 38 of the Council's Bye-Laws for the regulation of offensive trades in the Urban District of Greenford, made on the 8th day of October, 1906, and confirmed by the Local Government Board on the 29th day of November, 1906, and that the In¬ spector of Nuisances be and is hereby authorised to issue the Summons or Summonses on behalf of the Council. It was subsequently decided to proceed with summonses for breach of only two of the Bye-Laws in order not to be vindictive—the result being, that the Company was fined the maximum penalty of £5 on each summons, with Five Guineas costs.
