SANITARY WORK OF THE YEAR, 1886-87.
Table No. VI.
This table of our Sanitary work has been prepared in the usual
manner, showing in the upper portion the number and variety of the
Inspections, re-inspections, and calls made by the District Inspectors

again used during the summer months in watering some of the streets.
Disinfecting Powder was also used in the hottest and driest part of the
season in the courts, and in connection with the Sunday morning
cleansing of the channels of the Essex, Caledonian, and Holloway
Roads, where these thoroughfares are used as market-places until
late on Saturday night. The Dust Bins were also disinfected by the
Dustmen after removing the Dust from the houses of the inhabitants
during the hottest months of the year.

At the Annual Licensing of 1886 there were 77 applications for
the renewal of licenses to Slaughter-houses, and the whole of them

For the renewal of licenses to Cow-houses, 37 applications were
made and the whole were granted.

them to be in a satisfactory condition.

issued by direction of the Sanitary Committee.

arising from defective drainage, and upon an order being made by the
