Inspection of Market Thoroughfares.
The Market Thoroughfares have been, during 1908, under
bi-weekly special inspection by the Sanitary Inspectors (2
being on duty at a time—Saturday nights 9 to 12) and
Sunday mornings (9 to 12). The Market Thoroughfares are
Atlantic Road, Wandsworth Road, New Cut, Lower Marsh
and Lambeth Walk. No unsound food had to be seized by
the Inspectors under the sections of the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, but in several instances vendors were
cautioned.
Outside Urinals of Public Houses.
During 1908, the outside Urinals connected with Public
Houses have been under inspection, and notices have been
served in those instances where the Inspectors reported a
nuisance.
After much negotiation, it has been decided to reconstruct
the urinal at the "White Horse" Public House, Brixton
Road, by Loughborough Road. The reconstructed urlrtal
will contain 4 stalls, and will be furnished with two entrances
from the Loughborough Road. The estimated cost is £157,
of which the Cannon Brewery Company, Limited, the owners
of the premises are to pay £75. Thie Council will rhaihtaih
the urinal, and will pay also a ndminal rent bf 1/0 per
annum for the land on which thie Urinal will be built.
