The tenor of his report is favorable to the Gas Company, as was also the
opinion of the Gas Referee, contained in his letter of September 2nd, in which
he states:—
"I think it right to say that from the excellent order and cleanliness which I
see to prevail, and from the account of the precautions taken when a
purifier is discharged, I think it extremely unlikely that any nuisance is
caused at either of their works, beyond what is inseparable from the
manufacture of gas. The purifiers are only discharged at considerable
intervals of time. The discharging was not going on to-day, and I did not
witness it, but I saw all the appliances in readiness for avoiding nuisance
during the discharging."
On December 15th, the report of Mr. Helps was considered by the
Parliamentary Committee, and it was recommended that the Vestry Clerk be
instructed to write to the Gas, Light and Coke Company, setting forth the
points embodied in the report, and requesting the Company to carry out the
same.
This was approved of by the Vestry on the 9th January, 1894.
SPECIAL REPORTS.
During the year, in addition to the above, reports were presented to the
Vestry on the alterations required in the Shoreditch Public Mortuary, on the
conferences with the London County Council as to the condition of the Regent's
Canal, and on the conferences respecting the accommodation of cases of
infectious disease at the disposal of the Asylums Board authorities, which was
held at the Court House, Marylebone.
