OLD MALDEN.
Drainage of
houses
connected
with the
Main Sewer.
The drainage of 1 to 8, Idmiston Square, Motspur
Park Farm Lodge, and Fulbrook's Lodge was reconstructed
and the drains were connected with the public
sewer. The cesspools which were previously in use
were cleansed and abolished. Notice was served to
reconstruct the drainage of the Plough Inn and connect
the drains with the sewer, and the work of so doing has
just been begun.
House in dirty
condition.
The walls and ceilings of rooms at 6, Idmiston Square,
being in such a state as to be injurious to health notice
was served to cleanse the same.
NEW BYE-LAWS.
The coming into force of the revised Bye-laws which
I hope will take place within the next few months, will
greatly assist me with regard to certain nuisances which
I am at present unable to properly deal with.
I trust it will not be long before the Council adopts
Part 3 of the Public Health Act Amendment Act, 1890,
as this would enable me to deal with certain nuisances
over which at present I have no control.
I am, Dear Sir,
Yours faithfully,
ALFRED W. HOBBS, C.S.I.,
Sanitary Inspector.
