Parish of Wandsworth.
147
Factories and workshops.
122 of these (29 factories and 93 workshops),
were inspected during the year. Notices
were served for the following sanitary defects:—lour
dirty and offensive waterclosets, three waterclosets with
doors opening directly into workrooms, one workshop
with defective drainage, two without proper dung pits,
two without proper dust bins, and one badly paved and
drained yard.
Two notices were received from the Factory
Inspector during the year, but in one of these, notice
had previously been served by the Sanitary Inspector.
Unsound Food.
The following were destroyed during the
year at the request of the owners, and
certificates were given in every case :—four boxes of
herrings, one bushel of whelks, one box of whiting, and
eight wild rabbits.
Houses Let in Lodgings.
There are now 36 on the register, an increase
of 14 compared with last year. The whole
of the necessary cleansing was done at the statutory
period, and the houses were frequently inspected during
the year, and found in a satisfactory sanitary condition.
I have again to report that the sanitary inspectors
have carried out all their duties to my entire satisfaction.
