Sanitary Conveniences.
A new sanitary convenience has been erected by the Council
at Tooting Broadway, but additional conveniences are required
in other parts of the Borough. This is, however, receiving the
attention of the Council, and the question of erecting others is at

In January, 1903, the following report was made to the
Public Health Committee with respect to the condition of the
urinals attached to the public-houses in the Borough.
