31st December, 1901.
Sir,—
I beg to submit to you my (twelfth) Annual Report of the
Sanitary works executed and nuisances abated in the South Division
up to date, 26th March, 1901. Since then, on the re-arrangement of
districts, the Central Division of the Parish of Bromley under the
Council of the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar for the year ended
31st December, 1901.
I have inspected 1,578 premises, 922 in response to complaints
of nuisances, 287 on account of infectious diseases, notified, and
369 house-to-house inspections, were made. Of the 1,578 premises
313 were found to be in fair sanitary condition, whilst in the
remainder 1,265 nuisances were found to exist, which necessitated
works of sanitary repairs (see tabulated list) and 5,394 re-inspections
were made in the supervision of same.
