shops. Workshops in the parish has been made during the
year.
Special inspections were made by the Chief Sanitary
Inspector in addition to the ordinary inspections and the following
reported upon and the necessary works ordered to be done.
At Prices' Factory, York Road, inspection shewed that the
sanitary offices were in a cleanly and efficient condition with
the exception of a few minor defects which were subsequently
remedied.
The London Chatham and Dover Railway Works, Queen's
Road were inspected and reported to the Sanitary Committee in
May as to the defective and insanitary condition of the w.c.'s,
&c. The Company subsequently reconstructed the arrangements
and buildings thereby providing good and sufficient
conveniences for the employes, some 650 in number.
The London County Council drew the Vestry's attention to
the want of proper water closet accommodation at the Dust
Yard and Coal Depots of the London Brighton and South
Coast Railway Company at Wandsworth Common Goods
Yard. A Sub-Committee of the Sanitary Committee and the
Chief Inspector visited the wharf with the result that new drains
were provided into Chivalry Road sewer and proper w.c.
accommodation for the workmen, the old cesspool and privy
arrangement to the cottage were abolished, and an earth-closet
substituted at some distance from the cottage.
In accordance with the Sanitary Committee's instructions
the sanitary conveniences for the workmen at the Dust Depot
were inspected and found to be in an unsatisfactory condition,
they have since been re-constructed upon improved principles.
