   in Council.
3. In any district or defined portion of a district in which these
   regulations are for the time being in force, it shall not be lawful for

   months after the coming into force of these regulations in such district
   or defined portion of a district.
4. Application for the registration of any premises as a hairdresser's
   shop shall be made to the local authority in writing under the hand

   authority in like manner as an application for original
   registration.
   (d.) The local authority may at any time during the currency of
   any registration transfer the registration so as to apply to

   ticulars of registration the person responsible shall make
   application to the local authority to have such alteration
   recorded in the record of registration and endorsed on the
   certificate of registration.
