Report of Sanitary Inspector, Bow West Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31s#, 1915.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I beg to lay before you my twenty-sixth Annual Summary of the
Sanitary work carried out in my Division during the year ended 31st
December, 1915, as follows:—
Inspections on complaints of nuisances 1,227
Do. on notifications of infectious diseases 384
Do. Canal Boats 41
Re-inspections 1,478
Making a total of 3,130 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 (1,611 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that various works of sanitary amendment
were needed to be carried out in 29.29 per cent. of the premises thus
inspected—requiring the service of 472 written intimations, 186 statutory,
and 41 final notices. In many of these cases, on the service of the usual
written intimations, which in all cases preceded the service of statutory
notices, the required works were executed by the respective persons
liable. In no case was it found necessary to have recourse to legal
proceedings.
