The North-east Sanitary District comprises the
remainder of the area between the railway (north), and a line
running through Clarendon-place, St. John's-road, Kensingtonpark-gardens,
and Chepstow-villas (south); it is bounded on
the west by Walmer-road, and on the east by the parish
boundary.
The Central Sanitary District takes in the area
between High-street, Notting-hill, and Holland-park-avenue
(north), and Kensington High-street and Kensington-road
(south): it also comprises the streets in North Kensington
to the south of the north-west and north-east districts
respectively.
The South-east and the South-west Sanitary
districts, south of Kensington High-street and Kensingtonroad,
lie east and west of a line running along Wright's-lane,
Marloes-road, Lexham-gardens,Collingham-road, The Boltons,
and Gilston-road, to Fulham road.
Chief Sanitary Inspector. A distinct step in
advance was taken during the year 1898, by the appointment
of a chief sanitary inspector in the person of Mr. G. M. Pettit,
the inspector for the south-east district. But as this officer
was still left in charge of the said district, his service in general
oversight of the work of the inspectors in the remaining five
districts, was necessarily of a limited character. Despite this
limitation, however, the arrangement was a judicious one: it
worked well in all respects, and to the entire satisfaction of
the Sanitary Committee and myself. In the report for 1898
the hope was expressed that, ere long, your Vestry would be
pleased to give fullest effect to the objects intended in the
creation of the new office, by setting the chief inspector free
from district work, and occupying his whole time in the duty
of supervision of the sanitary work of the parish. This was
done in June, 1899; the result has not disappointed expectation.
