deodorants in the channels running through
the courts and alleys, etc.
Fifty-two places were so treated in the East
District; sixty in the Middle District; and
sixty-two in the West District. Total 174.
The entrances to forty-nine courts were
cleansed and lime-washed at the public
expense, viz.: thirteen in the East District;
eighteen in the Middle District; and eighteen
in the West District. The details of this
work will be found in Appendix
DEODORISING PUBLIC ROADWAYS, CATCHPITS
AND GULLIES.
During the summer months the public roadways,
catch-pits, and gullies have been
thoroughly deodorised, particular attention
being given as heretofore to streets paved with
wood, and to the granite pavement in the
neighbourhood of Billingsgate Market, which
is peculiarly exposed to nuisance from the
droppings of the fish carts, and from loose offal.
