Sir,—
I beg to submit to you my twentieth Annual Report of the Sanitary
Works executed for the remedying of defects and abatement of nuisances,
which have existed in the Central Division of the Sub-District of Bromley

nuisances, and notices received under the London County Council Bylaws
and the Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations, 1908, 162 on

visitations. Of the 1,539 premises so dealt with 548 were found
to be in fair sanitary condition, whilst in the 991 premises (the
remainder) defects and nuisances were found to exist, which necessitated
