Report of Sanitary Inspector, Bow West Division.
Public Health Department,
December 31st, 1917.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I beg to lay before you my twenty-eighth Annual Summary of
the Sanitary work carried out in my Division during the year ended
31st December, 1917, as follows:—
Inspections on complaints of nuisances 928
Do. on notifications of infectious diseases 576
Do. Canal Boats 37
Re-inspections 990
Making a total of 2,531 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 (1,504 houses and other premises) of primary
inspections made, I found that various works of sanitary amendment
were needed to be carried out in 28.9 per cent of the premises thus
inspected—requiring the service of 436 written intimations, 156 statutory,
and 32 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 only two cases was it found necessary to have recourse to
legal proceedings to ensure enforcement.
Drainage Reconstructions.
Whole and partial reconstruction on old lines:—
Clark's Place, 3 ; Driffield Road, 78 ; Eglington Road. 65 ;
Lefevre Road, 42 and 76 ; Ranwell Street, 5 ; Roman Road. 249,
264 and 266 ; St. Stephen's Road, 18 ; Sutherland Road, 47 and
49 ; Usher Road, 130 ; Vernon Road, 16 and 51.
