APPENDIX. No. III.
SPECIAL CASES.
Although it is considered expedient not to publish the
details of these cases of nuisance, yet it may be allowed
us to add one word of commentary. It is worthy of
notice to how large an extent the superior classes of ratepayers
trust to the judgment of the Sanitary Committee
and its officers, insomuch that in very many cases of
nuisance in the better class of houses all the operations
for the relief of them are executed under the directions
of the Committee, and of course occupy a considerable
amount of the Inspector's time. We may mention New
Bond-street, Blenheim-street, Albemarle-street, Mountstreet,
Park-street, Great Stanhope-street, and Chesterfield-street
as places where such operations have been
carried on this quarter, and that in respect of 5 first-class
premises in these situations there occurs the following
entry:
"Old brick drains broken up and removed, cesspool
abolished and filled up, new pipe drains laid down, and
inlets trapped."
This may be mentioned to give an idea of the money
interests involved, and of the gradual improvement which
is silently being effected in the salubrity of our parish.
