Report of Inspector, Bromley Central Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1910.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to submit to you my twenty-first 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
under the Public Health and Housing Committee of the Council for the
Metropolitan Borough of Poplar for the year ended 31st December, 1909.
Inspection of District.
I have inspected 1,470 premises, 1,034 in response to complaints of
nuisances, and notices received under the London County Council Bylaws
and the Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations, 1908, 142 on
account of cases of infectious diseases notified, and 294 were house-tohouse
visitations. Of the 1,470 premises so dealt with 555 were found
to be in fair sanitary condition, whilst in the 915 premises (the
remainder) defects and nuisances were found to exist, which necessitated
the following works of sanitary repairs (see tabulated statement page
221). In the supervision of same 4,133 re-inspections were made.

Of the pulmonary tuberculosis cases and for which notices were received
the great majority of patients were removed to various institutions for
treatment. Inspections were made of the premises, as above stated, the
necessary precautions (disinfection, etc.) adopted, and where required the
work of cleansing was readily carried out by the responsible person.

In accordance with your instructions, visits were made and precautions
adopted similar to the other infectious cases during the year.
