Messrs. Drew, Bear, Perks & Co., Commercial Road
Sir Joseph Causton, Clapham Road (5 occasions)
Licensed Victuallers' Schools, Upper Kennington Lane
Marble Laundry, Clapham Road.
In addition to the above, most of which were under special
observation by the Vestry's officers at the time of the
County Council's communications being received, special
observations have also been made during the year and
reported to the Sanitary Committee, in respect of the
following:—
L.C.C. Works Department, Belvedere Road
Darfield Wharf, 57, Belvedere Road
Laundry, Workhouse
Baths, Kennington Road
Laundry
Messrs. C. & J. Denny
Messrs. Aland & Co., 46, Commercial Road
Messrs. Selway & Sons, 45, Upper Kennington Lane
Messrs. Williamsons, 201, Lyham Road
Messrs. Oppenheimer Bros., 51 and 53, Handforth Road.
The above lists will give an idea of the extra work thrown
upon the Sanitary Department, as each case had to be kept
under practically constant observation with a view to proceedings
being taken before the Magistrate as might be
required.
The close of the year 1898 has seen a distinct improvement
in connection with black smoke emitted from
Factories, etc., especially in the neighbourhood of Belvedere
and Commercial Roads.
