Canal Boats Acts.—The Sanitary Inspector in charge of the
northern portion of the Parish has made frequent visits to that
portion of the Regent's Canal which is situated within our
Sanitary Area, and a detailed result of his inspections will be
found in his RepOrt on page 40.
Besides those already mentioned, I have made numerous
Reports to your Public Health Committee on the various matters
which have occupied its attention, and twice during the year I
have visited and reported upon three slaughter-houses, two cowsheds,
and 32 bakehouses situated in the Parish, with the result
that notices to cleanse, whitewash, and remedy other sanitary
defects were served upon the owners of two cowsheds and ten
bakehouses.
I have also visited 106 dwelling-houses, factories and workshops
of which complaints were received, and in every instance
iu which the Vestry's notice has not been complied with, and in
such cases in which summonses have been granted, I have
attended the police court in support of the same.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
G. E. YARROW, M.D., D.P.H., &c.
Vestry Hall, City Road,
April, 1900.
