Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1905.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
1 beg to submit to you my (sixteenth annual) Report of
the Sanitary Works executed for the abatement of nuisances which
have existed in the Central Division of the Parish of Bromley
under the Public Health and Housing Committee of the Council
for the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar, for the year ended 31st
December, 1905.
I have inspected 1,525 premises, 956 in response to complaints
of nuisances, 346 on account of Infectious Diseases notified, and
223 house-to-house visitations have been made. Of the 1,525
premises so dealt with 511 were found to be in fair sanitary condition,
whilst in the remainder, 1,014 premises, nuisances were
found to exist, which necessitated the following works of sanitary
repairs (see tabulated list, page 159). In the supervision of the
same 4,238 re-inspections were, made.
