Whilst for purposes of convenience this action of the Council
has been stated here, it should not be supposed that it arose
only out of the alleged nuisance at the premises of Messrs.
McNamara. It was the result of several manure accumulations
which occurred during the year.
In addition to their ordinary compliance with the law, it should
be added that Messrs. McNamara, at my suggestion, made
several alterations in their premises and in the management of
manure removal, which have had beneficial results.
On July 18th, I received a formal complaint from the
authorities at the Risinghill Street Board School of the existence
of a nuisance from manure accumulation at Jay's Buildings.
This was not the first complaint of its kind respecting
accumulations at these premises. I visited the place, as on
previous complaints, and found some 30 horses stabled there. I
found a considerable accumulation of manure, and arranged for
its more regular and more frequent removal, and also for keeping
the manure in a different part of the premises. By the adoption
of these two measures the nuisance was abated.
Similar complaints reached me in respect of manure accumulations
in Whiskin Street, Claremont Mews, and other places,
and these received attention. During the year I have also
made representations (after personal inspection) to the various
owners of cowsheds, in respect of frequent and cleanly
removal of manure.
