SANITARY WORK.
In my quarterly reports, I have given at considerable length
particulars of the Sanitary work which has been carried out by the
Public Health Department. As this matter has been so fully laid before
you, I do not propose to go over all the ground again. I may, however,
say that in no previous year in the history of the parish has so much
been undertaken and accomplished.
INTIMATION NOTICES.
At the beginning of the year a new form of Preliminary or
Intimation Notice for the abatement of nuisances was put by me, before
the Public Health Committee for their consideration, and adopted
by them for future use. Prior to this time, the Preliminary and the
Statutory Notices were precisely the same in form, and consequently
the public were unable to readily distinguish between the two. The
following is a copy of the Notice which was adopted.
Form A.
THE VESTRY OF SAINT MARY, ISLINGTON.

nuisances known to you, as being the person who is required to abate them. And I have
