Report of Sanitary Inspector, Bow West Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1910.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to lay before you my twenty-first Annual Summary of the
Sanitary work carried out in my Division during the year ending 31st
December, 1910, as follows:—
Inspections on complaints of nuisances 1,118
Do. on notifications of infectious diseases 203
Do. on house-to-house visitation 227
Do. Canal Boats 58
Re-inspections 1,748
Making a total of 3,354 visits.
Details and results of such inspections from time to time have been
entered in the book kept for that purpose, as prescribed by the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891.
Of the total number (1,606 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that various works of sanitary amendment
were needed to be carried out in 30 5 per cent, of the premises
thus inspected—requiring the service of 490 written intimations, 205 statutory,
and 21 final notices. In many of these cases, on the service of the
usual written intimations, which in all cases precede the service of
statutory notices, the required works were executed by the respective
persons liable, but in no case was it found necessary to have recourse
to legal proceedings to ensure enforcement.
House-to-House Visitation.
The house-to-house inspection comprised the undermentioned roads
and places—
Jodrell Road. Prince Arthur's Avenue (twice)
Lamprell Street Victoria Cottages (three times)
