PUBLIC MORTUARY.
During last year 234 bodies were removed to the
mortuary at Fulham Palace Road. There were 192
bodies brought to the mortuary by order of the
Coroner or the Police; 58 bodies were taken from
the West London Hospital, and 42 bodies were received
for accommodation.
PUBLIC NUISANCES.
During last year I had occasion to bring before
your Public Health Committee complaints in reference
to the following alleged Public Nuisances 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.
Complaint was also made of a nuisance from
the keeping of pigs in Old Oak Lane. I visited the
several premises and reported thereon to the Public
Health Committee, who gave the matter full and
careful consideration. The pig-keepers have since
removed from the premises, as they were not willing to
comply with your requirements to put the premises
in a sanitary condition to your satisfaction.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
During last year observations were made in
reference to the amount of black smoke emitted from
the under-mentioned premises, and during the same
period 3 statutory notices were issued. Twenty-one
preliminary notices were also served.
