Only one parish medical order was issued for the Council Buildings,
the patient being a destitute seaman who had been given shelter
by a resident. From the Medical Registers at the Guardians' Offices
I find that 22 orders were issued for Hanbury Buildings and 103 for
Grosvenor Buildings, against 77 medical orders for these last buildings
in the year 1894.
ANN STREET AREA.
At the request of the Solicitor of the London County Council, and
with the consent of the Sanitary Committee, I inspected and made a
detailed report to the Council of the condition of 8, 14, and 17 Ann
Street, 1 and 3 Brunswick Road, 6, 8a, 8, and 9 Tavern Court, and
2, Prospect Place. These premises, with the last-mentioned Court, were
included in the Ann Street Area. The owners demanded £2336 8s.
for the ten houses, and their respective shares of the Court and Place,
and would not come to terms with the County Council. 1 attended
on March 2nd and 9th at the Surveyor's Institute, before Lawson
Walton, Esq., Q.C., M.P., the arbitrator between the parties. Mr.
Miners also attended in order to produce all documents, and the
entries in the journals relating to the past sanitary condition of the
premises in question.
The arbitrator's award was £1230.
BAKEHOUSES.
The Committee on 28th March considered the resolution of the
Vestry of Bromley Saint Leonard, urging upon the Board to look after
the sanitary condition of all bakehouses, and the Committee recommended
that the Vestry be informed that the matter received the
constant attention of the Medical Officers and the Inspector of
Nuisances in manufactories.
The bakehouses are inspected twice a year by me, accompanied
by Mr. Raymond. There are 101 known bakehouses in Poplar and
