Road.
Messrs. Brown, Lennox and Co., West Ferry Road (existing

Smoke Nuisances.
The number of complaints with reference to black smoke issuing
from the numerous factory chimney shafts in Millwall and Cubitt
Town have been considerably less during the past year. The
nuisances occurring were in most cases abated on the service of
an intimation, and when necessary followed by a statutory notice.
In no instance was it necessary to resort to legal proceedings. The
smoke preventing appliances attached to many of the furnaces, in
conjunction with careful stoking, as the result of previous proceedings,
repeated visits and cautions no doubt contributed to
this result
Workshops, &c
The workshops and workplaces were regularly inspected—
numbering 24—and their sanitary condition improved in many
instances by lime washing, better ventilation and paving, etc., in
response to the intimations and notices served.
Public Health Prosecutions.
2 summonses were issued against the owner of 26, Tobago
Street, Millwall, as under:—
A. For neglecting to repair the roof.
