The North-east Sanitary District comprises the
remainder of the area between the railway (north), and a line
running through Clarendon-place, St. John's-road Kensingtonpark-gardens,
and Chepstow-villas (south): it is bounded on
the west by Walmer-road, and on the east by the parish
boundary.
The Central Sanitary District takes in the area
between High-street, Notting-hill, and Holland-park-avenue
(north), and Kensington High-street and Kensington-road
(south) ; it also comprises the streets in North Kensington
to th-i south of the north-west and northeast districts
respectively.
The South-east and the South-west Sanitary
districts, south of Kensington High-street and Kensingtonroad,
lie east and west of a line running along Wright's-lane,
Marloes-road, Lexham-gardens, Collingham-road, The Boltons,
and Gilston-road, to Fulham-road
Chief Sanitary Inspector. A distinct step in
advance was taken during the year by the appointment of a
chief sanitary inspector in the person of Mr. G. M. Pettit,
the inspector for the south-east district. But as this officer
was still left in charge of the said district, his service in general
oversight of the work of the inspectors in the remaining five
districts, was necessarily of a limited character. Despite this
limitation, however, the arrangement was a judicious one : it
has worked well in all respects, and to the entire satisfaction
of the Sanitary Committee and myself. It is to be hoped that,
ere long, your Vestry may be pleased to give fullest effect to
the objects intended in the creation of the new office, by
setting the chief inspector free from district work, and
occupying his whole time in the duty of supervision of the
sanitary work of the parish.
