Report of Inspector, Bromley Central Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31 st, 1911.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
1 beg to submit to you my twenty-second 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, 1911.
Inspection of District.
I have inspected 1,292 premises, 990 in response to complaints of
nuisances, and notices received under the London County Council Bylaws
and the Public Health Tuberculosis Regulations, 1908, 166 on
account of cases of infectious diseases notified, and 136 were house-tohouse
visitations. Of the 1,292 premises so dealt with 575 were found
to be in a fairly sanitary condition, whilst in the 717 premises (the
remainder) defects and nuisances were found to exist, which necessitated
the following works of sanitary repairs (see tabulated statement page

Of the pulmonary tuberculosis cases and for which notifications 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 persons.
