SANITARY INSPECTION OF THE BOROUGH.
19. This part of the report, which has been largely prepared
by your Chief Sanitary Inspector, deals with the work of the
District Inspectors and of the Lady Sanitary Inspector. During
the year, as last year, two Sanitary Inspectors have been acting
under the Food Control Committee and, in consequence, have
not been available for general sanitary work, although they have
been extremely useful in dealing with the supervision of food.
Tables 13 to 16 shew in detail the work of the Inspectors.
20. The number of complaints received and attended to was
719, as compared with 492, 630 and 599, in the three preceding
years. 27 of these complaints related to the non-removal of
dust: 2 of these were from Woolwich, 10 from Plumstead and 15
from Eltham.
21. Tables Nos. 13 and 14 below shew the number of the
various inspections carried out during the year.
