courts of the Inner Wards be swept and cleansed
frequently; that immediate steps be taken to
channel the streets which are not now channelled;
and that additional gullies be placed where required."
(N.B.—All the above suggestions are being carried out,
and the special roads mentioned have been repaired, with
the exception of Prince's (Cory) Square, which is being
left over until the completion of the Broadwall Sewer).*
II. "Periodic inspection, with examination of drains,
of the houses in the Inner Districts (at frequent
intervals), with systematic house-to-house visitations,
including schools—but that the question of
appointing a Female Inspector be deferred for
six months."
(N.B.—The Inner Wards or Districts have been better
and more systematically inspected during the past year than
ever before—the Inspectors, having smaller districts, being
better able to keep up their house-to-house inspections).
III. " Cleansing, flushing, repairing, relaying (as
required) of those sewers or combined systems of
drainage, for the condition of which the Vestry, in
the present state of the law, is liable, together with
attention to the gullies, and the closing of those
ventilating grids (with or without compensatory
ventilation as may be necessary) in narrow streets
which are complained of, and shewn to be real and
persistent nuisances."
(N.B.—These suggestions are being systematically carried
out from time to time).
*This work is now approaching completion.
