PUBLIC NUISANCES.
During last year I had occasion to bring before
your Public Health Committee a complaint in
reference to the following alleged Public Nuisance in
the Borough.
Complaint having been made as to a nuisance
alleged to be caused by deposit of refuse on certain land
on the east side of Wood Lane, in the occupation of
the Great Western Railway Company and Mr. Latter,
a contractor, I visited the premises and reported
thereon to the Public Health Committee, who gave
the matter full and careful consideration.
