The enormous increase in the number of
places of refreshment during the last few years
in the City of London has added very materially
to the difficulty; this will be apparent from the

the subject submitted to the Sanitary Committee
in February, upon a reference that 1 should
" advise upon the best means to adopt with a view
of stopping the nuisance of smoke from the City
restaurants
There are 614 establishments in which food is cooked for sale distributed over the City, and dividing these for convenience of reference over the three Sanitary Districts we find in the
| East District | 178 |
| Middle District | 290 |
| West District | 146 |
| Total | 614 |
