Additional w.c. accommodation.
Public House Urinals.
Public house conveniences were visited and nuisances abated on the
service of written intimations.
Workshops, etc.
The workshops and workplaces—numbering 34—were regularly inspected
and their sanitary condition improved in many instances by limewashing,
better ventilation and paving, etc., in response to the intimations
and notices served.
Hairdressing and Shaving Booms.
The hair cutting and shaving rooms (18 in all) were inspected and
dealt with where necessary.
Canal Boat Acts.
Under this Act 9 Registered Barges were inspected and no infringement
discovered.
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 one instance only 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, rep sated visits, and cautions, no doubt
contributed to this result.
