73
Sub.district of Putney and lloehampton.
In my last annual report, I stated that, by way of experiment,
I put certain houses in Floss Street under their
operation. The landlord, however, made such structural
alterations in the houses in question, that each flat became
a separate tenement with a separate door, so that they
could no longer remain under the Bye-Laws.
85 unclassified nuisances were dealt with and were
as follows:—
10 New gully traps fixed to drain in yard.
32 Water fittings repaired to prevent soakage of walls.
7 Cases where animals were kept so as to be a nuisance.
26 Rotten wood flooring removed.
10 Joints of soil pipe re-caulked.
All the bakehouses have been frequently inspected,
and found in a satisfactory condition. The necessary
cleansing and limewashing has been done twice during
the year.
The workshops have been inspected and found in a
satisfactory condition.
The fishmongers shops have been frequently inspected,
and the offal has been removed in accordance
with the Bye-laws.
I have again to record my thanks to all who have
been associated with myself in carrying out the sanitary
work of the district.
