Highway Locomotives.
The strong action of the Council during the previous year with
respect to the prevention of smoke nuisances from Highway Locomotives
passing through or within the district appeared to have
a very salutary effect, as complaints in this direction were found
to diminish very considerably for a time, but later a recrudescence
of the offence necessitated the issuing of further summonses.
At the Thames Police Court on 6th July, Messrs. Mann, Crossman
and Paulin, Ltd., were ordered by the Magistrate to pay 23s.
costs for causing a smoke nuisance to arise from a highway locomotive
in the Bow Road.
On 14th July the Road Breaking Company, Ltd., of Broadway
Chambers, Westminster, were fined £1 and costs for a similar
offence.
Offensive Businesses.
Nuisances from bone boiling arising without the district occurred
at very frequent intervals. On each occasion the probable source
was traced, and the West Ham Corporation communicated with,
resulting eventually in an abatement of the nuisance.
Food and Drugs.
Fifty-four varied samples of food have been purchased and
submitted to the Public Analyst for analyses. Three were certified
to have been adulterated, and owing to the small amount of
adulteration the vendors were cautioned by order of the Council.
The House-to-House Inspection in the Division comprised
