GENERAL REMARKS.
Sewer Ventilators. During the past year I have received
complaints from all parts of the Parish respecting the smell that
arises from the Sewer Ventilators.
I have on each occasion forwarded these complaints to the
Medical Officer of the London County Council.
In order to abate the nuisance there should be more
ventilators erected, and they should be carried up to a
considerable height, instead of being at ground level.
In one case this has been done, viz., in the Trafalgar Road,
near Christ Church, with considerable benefit to that locality.
The following houses have been either closed or demolished
during the year, owing to their being unfit for human habitation :
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19,
Hoskin Street
Demolished. Notices
were served upon
the owners, and
rather than have
them repaired,
they were pulled
down.
3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10, Caradoc Street
{Closed by order of
the Magistrate, who
visited the property.
Cottage at rear of 38, Roan Street}
Closed on receipt
of Notices.
