(2.) A licence shall not be required until the 1st January, 1912, for any premises which have been duly registered under the bye-laws hereby repealed, nor for any premises which the Board would not have required to be registered under the said repealed bye-laws.
(3.) Each applicant shall produce either a licence issued by the authority of the Governor under the Crown lease of the premises to be registered or a certificate signed by the proper officer to the effect that no such licence is required.
4. Licences under these bye-laws shall be issued only in respect of premises that are substantially built, adequately lit and ventilated to the satisfaction of the Board and drained in accordance with the provisions of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance and the bye-laws made thereunder. The ground surfaces of such premises shall be paved with good concrete laid down at least six inches thick and the surface thereof shall be rendered smooth and impervious with asphalt, cement or such other material as the Board may approve of. The interior surfaces of all walls, which must be substantially built of brick or stone, as well as the surfaces of the brick or stone supports of the pans and other utensils shall be rendered smooth and impervious to the height of at least seven feet from the Boor level with asphalt, cement, or such other material as the Board may approve of.
All such premises shall be provided to the satisfaction of the Board with proper and adequate urinal and privy accommodation for the use of the work-people employed therein.
5. Every licensee shall cause all materials which have been received upon the pre- mises where his trade is carried on and which are not immediately required for use, to be stored in such manuer and in such a situation as to prevent the emission of noxious or in- jurious effluvia therefrom.
6. Every licensee shall cause such portions of the internal surface of every wall upon the premises where his trade is carried on as have not been rendered impervious with suitable material, to be thoroughly cleansed, and after being so cleansed, to be thoroughly washed with hot limewash during the months of January and July of each year.
7. Every licensee shall, at the close of every day, cause all fat, tallow, grease, refuse or filth which has been spilled or splashed, or has fallen or been deposited upon any floor, pavement, or wall upon the premises where his trade is carried on to be collected therefrom by scraping or some other effectual means of cleansing and, unless it is intended to be subjected to further trade processes on the premises, forthwith removed from the premises. All apparatus must be kept in a cleanly and wholesome condition.
8. Every licensee shall cause every part of the internal surface of the walls and every Hoor or pavement upon the premises where his trade is carried on to be kept at all times in good order and repair so as to prevent the absorption therein of any liquid filth, or refuse, or any noxious or injurious matter which may be splashed or may fall or be deposited thereon.
9. Every licensee shall adopt the best practicable means of rendering innocuous all vapours or dust emitted during the process of manufacture upon the premises where his trade is carried on.
He shall in every case where boiling is a necessary part of the process of manufacture either cause the vapour to be discharged into the external air in such a manner and at such a height as to admit of the diffusion of the vapour without noxious or injurious effects, or he shall cause the vapour to pass directly from the pan or press through a fire, or into a suitable condensing apparatus and then through a fire in such a manner as effectually to consume the vapour or to deprive the same of all noxious or injurious properties.
10. No persons (other than two caretakers in respect of each block of buildings) shall be allowed to pass the night in any of the rooms used as work rooms unless actually engaged in carrying on works connected with the trade.
11. Every licensee shall cause every drain or means of drainage upon or in connection with the premises where his trade is carried ou to be maintained at all times in good order and efficient action. He shall, where it is in the opinion of the Board necessary so to do, provide the drains on his premises with the appliance known as a "grease-trap" and shall not pass or permit to be passed any hot liquid refuse (i.c., above 110° Fahr.) into the drains
or sewers.
12. Every licensee shall, at all times, afford free access to every part of the said premises to any member of the Board, or officer of the Sanitary Department.
