ETC., FOR THE YEAR 1902.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Hackney, N.E.
6th May, 1903.
To the Public Health Committee, Hackney Borongh Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report for the
year ending 31st December, 1902.
Workshops.—During the year I paid 137 first visits to workshops,
1,151 visits of re-inspection. Of these, 15 visits were prompted by
complaints to the Medical Officer of Health from H.M. Factory
Inspectors and other persons.
I found nuisances existing on 246 premises, 177 of these nuisances
I dealt with myself and can report the abatement of 154. The
remaining 69 were handed over by the Medical Officer of Health to
the district Sanitary Inspectors to be dealt with by them. I have
served 113 intimations of nuisances, 10 final notices, 6 statutory
notices, and applied for 1 summons.
Of the nuisances met with, the largest number 80, were those
relating to dirty premises—workrooms, passages, and w.c.'s. Next
