Lupus Street, Pimlico, No. 66. Nuisance and dampness
in the back kitchen, from a dust-pit in the yard of
No. 68, adjoining premises. The wall has been cemented,

Belgrave Road. Two offensive gullies opposite to
Hugh Street have been trapped.
St. George's Terrace. A large quantity of dust and
decomposing vegetable matter was removed from the
dust-pits.
Chester Terrace, Chester Square, A most offensive
gully was rectified.
Tachbrook Street, Pimlico, Nos. 1 to 7. A large

and the paving referred to the Committee of
