SANITARY WORK.
NUISANCES UNDER THE PUBLIC HEALTH (LONDON)
ACT, 1891.
Under this Act the following seven houses and one stable
were closed by the owners after the receipt of notices:
Farmcote Place, Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6;
St. Mary's Yard, one house ;
Melior Street, one stable.
Seven houses, Nos. 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, & 43 Lafone Street,
and No. 61 Gainsford Street, have been demolished for rebuilding,
without any notices.
In Table V. (Sanitary), at the end of the Report, prepared
by your Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Ashdown, will be found a
detailed list of nuisances and other insanitary conditions
reported upon and work done during the year. This has all
been satisfactorily carried out under the supervision of your
careful and conscientious Inspector, and drains thoroughly
tested by the water test before being covered in.
The drainage, and nearlv the whole of the Sanitary
arrangements of the Parish Street Workhouse, have been
re-modelled. This occupied a great deal of Mr. Ashdown’s
time, as many as 266 visits having been made.
