164 Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
(v) Passageway at rear of Furzedown Market, Tooting,
is at present under notice, and the necessary works
will be carried out during the current year.
(w) Field's Alley, Wandsworth. A portion of this
passage was tar paved.
(x) Passage at rear of shops in Mitcham Lane from

The condition of these passages has been greatly improved
in consequence of the works carried out, but there
still remains a number in the Borough which will eventually
have to be dealt with in the same manner.

year of premises in Young's Rents, Rowland's Cottages,
Heath Road, Queen's Road, Pitcairn Street, Clapham; Isabella
Place, Cox's Place, Bigg's Row, Bendermere Road,
Putney; Colmer Road, Streatham; XVardley Street, Lydden
Grove, Lydden Road, Bendon Valley, and Hill's Yard,
Wandsworth.
(5.) Special inspections were made also of the milkshops in the
Borough, especially those where grocery goods were also sold,
and a very desirable improvement has been carried out in a
large number of these premises by the provision of a proper
milk safe, so as to prevent as far as possible the pollution of
the milk sold.
In all, 200 visits were made to these premises, and Lam able
to report that the conditions under which milk is now sold have
been very greatly improved.
