It would be conducive to the proper regulation of bakehouses
if they were licensed by a central authority in the same
way as cow and slaughterhouses ; the duty of inspection, however,
to remain as at present with the Local Authority.
Complaints were made of noise and dust together
with smoke from the Atmospheric Grain Elevator
C)., in the Anhalt Road. The allegation was found to be
substantially correct. All the defects were subsequently
remedied except the noise which does not come within the
province of the department.
In addition to ordinary disinfection after infectious
disease, a cab was disinfected after the conveyance
of an infected person to hospital, free of charge at the
Vestry's premises at the destructor. In the event of the boiler
being put in use, a suitable apparatus for disinfecting bedding,
clothes, &c. by steam and hot air might be worked very
inexpensively.
The main sewer running from west to east along
the York Road and Battersea Park Road has during
the last few years been ventilated by up-cast shafts, to the
great advantage of the residents in the locality drained by the
sewers.
The line of sewer running south to north, from Nightingale
Lane by Northcote Road, Falcon Road and High Street, in my
opinion requires better ventilation, more especially in the higher
levels. A very large proportion of complaints as to effluvium
nuisances from sewer gas come from these localities.
The Surveyor is about to erect some ventilators in Bolingbroke
Grove, which will relieve the pressure of gases in the
sewers and house drains. The whole line of sewer from south
to north requires similar treatment.
