February 2nd.—At this meeting he reported with reference
to the special annual inspection of Urinals attached to the various
licensed houses in the parish, stating that except in 58 cases
they were found to be in cleanly condition, the walls suitably
protected with impervious material, and with water supply and
properly trapped drains. The total number of houses at which
drink is consumed upon the premises was 158.
February 15th.—At this meeting he reported with reference to
the Stone Works, New Road, that at these premises some 50 men
were employed without proper and sufficient water closet and urinal
accommodation, and that the drains serving the same were in
defective condition.
The Committee directed the necessary notices to be served,
and subsequently suitable water closet and urinal accommodation
was provided, and the drains partially re-constructed.
He also submitted report with reference to Firewood
Cutting premises at the rear of the "Halfway House,"
Battersea Park Road, that some 15 men, 14 women and 1 boy
were employed in chopping wood, etc., for whom no water closet
accommodation was provided. In this case also the Committee
directed that notice should be served, which was subsequently
complied with by suitable water closet accommodation being
provided for each of the sexes.
March 2nd.—At this meeting a report was submitted with
reference to the complaint which had been made relative to the
deposits of manure and fish offal upon the Latchmere allotments
and the ground adjoining the railway embankment, Sheepcote
Lane, to the effect that he had found such deposits were made
by street vendors, etc., without the consent of the persons
occupying the ground. The Committee directed that the matter
be brought under the notice of the Board of Overseers, the
Commissioners of Police, and the Railway Company, and the
nuisance was found to have considerably abated upon subsequent
inspection being made.
