Regulation as to offensive and dangerous trades.

(1) No place within a municipal area shall be used -- (a) for melting tallow or fat; (b) for boiling or drying bones, offal or blood; (c) as a soap-house, oil-boiling-house, tannery, or baker's shop; (d) as a brick-field, brick-kiln, pottery or lime kiln; (e) as any other manufactory, engine-house or place of business from which offensive or unwholesome smell noises, fumes or smoke arise; (f) as a yard or depot for trade in hay, straw, thatching grass, dry leaves, wood, charcoal, or coal or other dangerously inflammable material; or (g) as a store-house for any explosive or for petroleum or any inflammable oil or spirit, except under a licence granted by the Municipality which shall be renewable annually. (2) The licence shall not be withheld unless the Municipality considers, that the business which is intended to be established or maintained would be the cause of annoyance, offence or danger to persons residing in frequenting the immediate neighbourhood or that for general reasons the establishment of such business in the locality is undesirable. (3) The Municipality may charge fees according to a scale to be fixed by bye-laws for such licences and may impose such conditions in respect thereof as it may think necessary. (4) Whoever, without a licence or in contravention of the condition of any such licence, uses any place for any such purpose as is specified in this section shall be punishable with fine which may extend to Rs. 50 and in the case of continuing offence, with a further fine which may extend to Rs. 10 for every subsequent day during which the offence is continued.
