Sanitary Department.
December 31 st, 1893.
To the Medical Officer of Health, North District.
Sir,
I beg to lay before you a Summary of the Sanitary work carried
out in Bow (East Division) tor three weeks ending December 30th,
1893, as follows:—
Of the total number (94 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that in 93 63 per cent. of the premises
thus inspected, various works of sanitary amendment —requiring the
service of 81 Intimations—were needed to be carried out. In a
majority of these cases, the required works were executed by the
respective persons liable, on the service of the usual written Intimations,
which in all cases precedes Sanitary notices.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
HUGH D. RUGG,
Sanitary Inspector,
Bow (East Division)
