The sanitary arrangements were examined and tested as the work
progressed. The various Bye-laws in force were complied with.
On your recommendation a water certificate was granted by the
Council.
Factories.
Improved and sufficient sanitary accommodation for workmen has
been provided at the following factories:—
Rose's Wharf and Paint Factory, West Ferry Road.
Messrs. J. Stewart's, Marine Engineers, Works, Stewart Street,
Manchester Road.
Hope's Chemical Works, Hope's Wharf, West Ferry Road.
Public House Urinals.
Public house conveniences were visited and nuisances abated on the
service of written intimations.
Workshops, etc.
The workshops and workplaces—numbering 36—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 Rooms.
The hair cutting and shaving rooms (20 in all) were inspected and
dealt with where necessary.
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. 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.
