Public House Urinals.
Public house conveniences were inspected and nuisances abated on
the service of written intimations, and in two instances were reconstructed
with improved sanitary arrangements.
Workshops and Workplaces.
The workshops and workplaces—numbering 41—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 were inspected and dealt with
where necessary. In every case an antiseptic was in use.
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.
