Urinal accommodation, accessible to the general public, is

hundred and thirty-three, and these are all kept under the
close and constant supervision of the Sanitary staff.
Water Supply.
At the time of writing my previous report, a complaint
was being laid before the Railway and Canal Commission,
with reference to the quality of the water supplied in Battersea,
by the Southwark and Vauxhall and the Lambeth Water
Companies, more particularly as shewn by samples taken in
November, 1899, which, according to the Analyst's report,
" represented waters insufficiently purified for public supply
and for drinking purposes."
