In compliance with your committee's instructions, a summons was
taken out against the owner of No. 49, Arcadia Street for not complying
with a statutory notice under the Public Health (London) Act,
1891. The summons was heard on the 24th March, an abatement
order was made to do the work within 14 days with 12s. 6d. costs. On
the 12th July, a summons was applied for against the owner of No
130, High Street, for not complying with a statutory notice, requiring
the open drain to be trapped, and to repair the broken rain pipes,
but when the summons was delivered, the defendant (who had already
received the statutory notice and stated he would do the work) was
ill in bed, and he sent his wife to the Board's offices to say they were
yearly tenants, so upon the day of hearing, the 19th July, the
Magistrate was asked to allow the summons to be withdrawn, so that
proceedings could be instituted against the agent. The necessary
work was executed. On the same date summonses were applied for
against the owners of No 6 Lion Street, and 9, Oriental Terrace, for
not complying with statutory notices to do certain drain work. The
Magistrate made a 7 days' and 3 days' order with 7s. and 7s. 6d.
costs respectively.
In several cases where new pans and traps had been found to have
been fixed without giving notice in writing to the Clerk of the Board,
letters were written to the respective owners to open up the ground
under the pan and trap. This, in each case, was done, and any
defects found to exist were remedied and made good satisfactorily.
Cases of overcrowding at the under-mentioned premises were
abated without having to institute legal proceedings:—16, Grove
Villas, 48, Sussex Street, 3, Hind Street, 89, Pekin Street, 6, Ellesmere
Street, 14, Rook Street, 9, Ivy Cottages, and 21, High Street.
