During the year matters of serious moment in
connection with the various factories in the parish have
claimed our constant attention; the most notable of these
being Messrs. Wallace's Chemical Works in the New
Road; and the Alum and Ammonia Company's premises
in the Lombard Road. As legal proceedings are still
pending in connection with nuisances alleged to exist at
both these works it would obviously be improper of us to
offer any observations referring to them in this report.
We therefore defer them to a future occasion.
Further information relative to the sanitary condition
of our respective Sub-districts will be found in the
following pages.
