The table given below shows in considerable detail matters relating
to the genera] sanitary condition of the City. The work of the district
sanitary inspectors is performed under several main headings : inspection
of nuisances and other insanitary conditions, whether on complaint or
otherwise; supervision of all new sanitary fittings and drainage in old
and new buildings, which includes reporting on plans of proposed sanitary
construction in respect of requirements laid down in the by-laws under
the Metropolis Management Acts and the Public Health (London) Act,
1891; inquiries into cases of infectious disease; routine inspection of
bakehouses, milk shops, restaurants and workshops and workplaces. The
observation of smoke nuisances is undertaken by the two inspectors
whose duties are otherwise taken up in the administration of the Sale
of Food and Drugs Acts.
