The erection of a Fever Hospital on such an eligible site and in close
proximity to Woolwich is one of the greatest benefits from a Public
Health point of view that has been conferred upon the district. and it is
satisfactory to know that the Hospital will be a Model Institution,
embodying all modern improvements and that an Ambulance Station
will be associated with it.
3. The river bank at North Woolwich between the Gardens and the
Dock entrance has been improved the pathway being asphalted
and planted with trees, seats being also provided.
4. Arrangements have been made for the removal of trade refuse, such
as Fish Offal, etc., by the provision of air-tight receptacles,
trolleys, etc., the refuse being subsequently destroyed in the
Destructor.
5. Two new vans have been provided in connection with the
Disinfecting arrangements of the district, one for the removal
of the infected clothing, &c., the second for the purpose of
returning the disinfected articles.
6. Two fire escapes have been stationed in the district, one at North
Woolwich, the other in Beresford Square.

the other at Callis Alley.

Sanitary
Requisites
I would again urge upon the Board the desirability of
taking the following points into their consideration.
1. The erection of an underground convenience in Beresford Square
adequate for the requirements of the district, and on the lines
of the admirable structures in other parts of the Metropolis.
