The sanitary fittings and work above ground has been looked after
by myself as before, in order that the by-laws should be observed.
Railway Stations.
In compliance with the Committee's orders, the railway stations
in my district have been inspected, and the sanitary conveniences
overhauled. West India Docks station had been recently altered,
and the sanitary accommodation renewed.
At Poplar station, North London Railway departure platform,
the drainage and fittings were found to be in a very indifferent
condition. The whole was re-arranged, redrained, trapped and
' ventilated, together with the station master's residence.
New water closets, etc., were provided, and automatic flushing
apparatus provided in the urinal, and at my request a louvre ventilated
skylight was fixed in the roof of the public closets, as these
were so dark.
Coffee and Eating Houses.
Some of these have been closed during the year, and new ones
opened in the district. There are now 32 on the register and the
register is altered and revised as occasion requires. These places
are visited at intervals, and at such times attention is paid to
the class of food in preparation, as far as possible. They are kept
in a tolerably clean condition, and when it is necessary to serve
cleansing notices, they are promptly attended to.
Food I aspect ion at Wharf, dir.
Aberdeen Wharf, where food is landed for transit, has been
periodically visited, but nothing found to complain of. As previously
stated, all tinned goods are subjected to a 10 per cent.
examination on arrival. Any injured or blown tins are put by for
removal by contract.
The butchers' premises and market stalls are carefully inspected,
sometimes during the day and at other times in the evening.
