It may be mentioned, that on November 6th, several
members of the Sanitary Committee accompanied one of the
Medical Officers of Health on a visit of inspection to several
parts of theln-wards. They visited Mr. Scarlett's and Mr.
Allen's slaughter houses ; Providence Court, Brown Street,
Tom's Court, Thomas Street, Robert Street, Grosvenor
Market, South Molton Lane, and Hanover Place. A memorandum
of matters noticed was drawn up by one of the Committee
and deposited with the Clerk. Such a visit repeated
at intervals will be of immense service.
The tabular returns of Sanitary Inspections by the Inspector,
and of existing Nuisances, with recommendations
thereon by Dr. Aldis, related to 66 different places in t he
Belgrave Sub-district that required sanitary improvement,
including the premises of 21 marine-store dealers, in nearly
all of which cases notices have been served, and the nuisances
abated, or are in progress of amendment.
