Proceedings were also taken against the owner of a house in
Deptford, for neglecting to provide to and for such house, a
sufficient ash-pit, and, upon the hearing of the complaint, it being
proved that, since the issue of the summons, he had made the

Proceedings were also taken against a person for, in newly
fixing an apparatus in connection with an existing water-closet to
a house in Deptford, not executing such work in compliance with
the requirements of the Bye-laws made by the London County
Council, under section 39 (1) of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, which resulted in the apparatus being so amended
as to comply with those Bye-laws.
Proceedings were also taken against the occupiers of a factory
in Deptford, for allowing a chimney at those works to send forth

were also taken against the occupiers of a factory in Greenwich,

During the year, 428 newly-erected houses in the district,
viz.:—242 in Greenwich and 186 in Deptford, were inspected, for
the purpose of ascertaining if they were provided with a proper
and sufficient supply of water, and such being found to be the
case, the Sanitary Authority granted a certificate to that effect, in
respect of each of such houses.
