addition to the other duties as Smoke Inspector. He
has since been registering such premises. At the
present time there are 20 premises upon the register.
In 6 cases notices have been served, all of which have

SANITARY ADMINISTRATION IN THE BOROUGH
OF HAMMERSMITH.
Your Council having received a report dated June
27th, 1902, by Dr. Young, Assistant Medical Officer
of Health of the London County Council, on the
Sanitary administration of the Borough of Hammersmith,
your Public Health Committee instructed me to
report on the advice therein contained. On December
the 1st, I presented the following report.
Dec. 1st, 1902.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with the instruction which I received at
the last meeting of your Committee that I should carefully consider
and present to you a report on the Report by Dr. Young,
dated June 27th, 1902,
I beg to point out to you that the whole cause of the inquiry
and report was the fact that the late Vestry and your Council had
for a very considerable period delayed in adopting the advice
contained in several of my reports in reference to the adequacy of
the Sanitary Staff. Had your Council earlier adopted the course
which you have since unanimously followed, I assume that the
London County Council would not have deemed it to be necessary
to instruct their officer to report upon the matter.
