Many representations have been made by the Hackney
Sanitary Authority from time to time respecting this nuisance
both to the local authorities in fault and to the Local Government
Board and the Lee Conservancy Board, but as yet without any
permanent result.
The Hackney Borough Council are advised by their Medical
Officer of Health that until the effluents in question are entirely
diverted from the river the nuisance will be constantly recurring
when the atmospheric and other conditions are favourable.
I am to add that the Borough Council have again communicated
with the Walthamstow and Leyton Sanitary Authorities and
the Lee Conservancy Board informing them of the nuisance complained
of and requesting them to take the earliest steps to
prevent its recurrence.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) W. A. WILLIAMS,
The Secretary, Town Clerk.
Local Government Board,
Whitehall, S.W.
