made very careful enquires and know that such an obnoxious
smell appears to be wafted over certain parts of the district.
I had no doubt, in my own mind, that the smells emanated
from the Gasworks at Lower Sydenham. The smell appears
to be similar to that of sulphuretted hydrogen. I am, however,
assured by the Engineer of the Gas Company, that it does
not come from the Bell Green Gasworks. It is certainly a
complaint that should be thoroughly investigated and the
cause found out, and I am, therefore, making further diligent
enquiries into the matter.
Another nuisance that is difficult to remedy, is that of
tramps and others, who make use of certain roads and open
spaces in the District, to sort filthy rags, etc. The people
move on and leave the waste refuse behind them. We have
the refuse removed and the places cleansed and disinfected.
