One tenant in Prospect Place had not vacated the premises on the
expiration of 28 days' Notice served in accordance with
the Magistrate's " Order," and after repeated excuses, a summons
was applied for, but at the last moment the house was emptied, and
the summons withdrawn.
Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
Upon authorization from the Committee, the owner of 43,
Southill Street was summoned for disobeying a "Statutory Notice
to abate a nuisance. After hearing the evidence of both sides, the
Magistrate inflicted a fine of £3 and 23s. costs, together with a
seven days' abatement order. The work was then finished in the
time allowed.
The two blocks of tenement dwellings in the district have four
times been inspected during the year, and in the case of "Hanbury
"Buildings some improvements in the lighting and ventilation
of the W.C.'s ha,ve been effected.

dwellings.
Several minor infringements of the Bye-laws of the Council and
L.C.C. have occurred, but mostly through builders being unacquainted
with the same. An explanation has invaribly put thing;

I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
