Two of the Sanitary Inspectors for the Parish of Saint Paul,
Deptford, were, for the purpose of enabling them to get about
that Parish with more expedition, and so carry out their duties
with greater advantage, provided the one with a tricycle and the
other with a bicycle.
During the year the premises in East Street, Greenwich,
acquired by the Board for the purpose of providing shelter and
accommodation for the temporary use of such inhabitants of the
district as might be compelled to leave their dwellings for the
purpose of enabling such dwellings to be disinfected by the
Sanitary Authority, were prepared and furnished for the reception
of persons requiring the temporary use of them, and have been so
used by three families.
During the year the Board made Bye Laws, under the
provisions of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891:—
(а) For the prevention of nuisances arising from any snow,
ice, salt, dust, ashes, rubbish, offal, carrion, fish, or
filth, or other matter or thing in any street;
(b) For preventing nuisances arising from any offensive
matter running out of any manufactory, brewery,
slaughter-house, knacker's yard, butcher's or fishmonger's
shop, or dunghill, into any uncovered place,
whether or not surrounded by a wall or fence ;
(c) For the prevention of the keeping of animals on any
premises in such place or manner as to be a nuisance
or injurious or dangerous to health ;
