Explanatory Nole.

sites on private property to which the public have free access.

4 By-law 17 of the General By-laws for All Claaser of Hawkers requires food stallholders to provide boiling water for cleansing purposes. To comply with this by-law most licenseos keep a small drum of water beside their stalls. Under By-law 8 of the Class 1 Stallholder Hawkera this could be regarded as an extension to the stalls and the proposed amendment (by-law a) to this by-law is therefore a recognition of an existing practice. The benches are for the use of the customers of the stall.
