162 Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
(a) I he passage at the rear of Nos. 152-180, Streatham
High Road, entering from Becmead Avenue, has
been paved and drained in a satisfactory manner.
(b) Roadway between Nos. 205 and 207, Brixton Hill
has been repaired and the nuisance for the time has
been abated.
(c) Land at rear of Blackshaw Road. After prolonged
inquiry, it was found that owing to difficulty of
ascertaining the owners, as defined by the Public
Health (London) Act, 1891, the matter was referred
to the New Streets Committee, who are now dealing
with it under the Metropolis Management Act.
(d) Yards and passages at Rowlands Cottages and
Young's Rents, Clapham, have been paved with
concrete by the owners without service of notice,
making a most desirable improvement in the sanitary
condition of these premises.
(e) Road from 8 to 20, Boundaries Road, Balham, has
had several loads of hard core laid, but has not been
paved or drained. The nuisance has for the present
been abated, but will, in my opinion, recur.
(f) Open space in rear of Market Parade, Balham. This
has been covered with brick and hard core, with a
top dressing of gravel.
(g) Passageways at rear of 113 to 125, Lower Richmond
Road, 1 to 21, Roskell Road, and 2 to 24, Salvin
Road, Putney, have been properly paved with
concrete.
(h) Passageways at rear of 521 to 541, and 543 to 557,
York Road, Wandsworth. These passageways are
still under notice, although something has been
done to abate the nuisance by depositing hard core
on the surface.
