*Verminous Rooms.
Verminous rooms are brought to the notice of owners upon the
"Intimations," which are followed, if necessary, by "Statutory Notices"
as there are usually other nuisances or defects upon the premises.
Notices are also served under section 10 of the London County Council
(General Powers) Act, 1922. 200 rooms in 68 houses were cleansed by
the Public Health Department.
A fluid insecticide is issued at the Disinfectant Depots, and sprayers
loaned to tenants in order to rid rooms and contents of bugs. 1,021 orders
for fluid were issued. Approximately 250 gallons of insecticide were
distributed during the year.
PUBLIC SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
At the request of the Public Health and Housing Committee all the
public sanitary conveniences in the Borough were inspected and a report
was submitted to the Committee and a copy sent to the Borough Surveyor.
The attention of the London County Council was also drawn to one or
two defects in conveniences under their control.
The respective authorities placed in proper sanitary condition the
conveniences to which special reference had been made in the report.
