The question of nuisance caused by the emission of black smoke has
received the attention of your Committee, who have directed several offenders
to be prosecuted.
The Report contains particulars of a case where the food for the use of
seamen on a ship was unsatisfactory. Your Committee brought the facts
to the notice of the Board of Trade, and the correspondence in connection
therewith is printed in the Report. The supervision of food stuffs on board
ships intended for the use of seamen, your Committee cannot regard as
satisfactory at the present time.
The Southend-on-Sea Corporation obtained an Act of Parliament, enabling
them to deal with their sewage on modern lines. Under the Act the Medical
Officer of Health for the Port of London is empowered to take samples, and
legal proceedings can be instituted if the sample taken is not up to the
scheduled standard of purity.
We have deemed it necessary to revise the duties and conditions of service
of the Sanitary Inspectors, and the same are printed in the report of the
Medical Officer.
In accordance with the order of your Honourable Court, an Account of
Receipts and Expenditure in connection with the Port of London Sanitary
Authority for the year ended December last is appended for the information
of the Court.
All which we submit to the judgment of this Honourable Court. Dated
this fifth day of April, 1910.
