Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Inspection of Urinals in connection with Licensed
Premises.
The number of urinals inspected was 175, 36 in Clapham, 21
in Putney, 49 in Streatham, 13 in Tooting, and 56 in Wandsworth.
400 inspections were made during the year and 47 notices,
chiefly for clcansing, were served and complied with.
Police Court Proceedings.
The list which follows shows particulars of Police Court
proceedings under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, during
the year.
The total amount of fines inflicted was £30 17s. 6d., and the
costs £11 3s., compared with £27 4s. and £11 11s. in 1908.
The majority of the cases were with respect to nuisances or
contraventions of By-laws, but eight were for permitting houses
to be occupied without first having obtained a certificate from the
Sanitary Authority that the premises had a proper and sufficient
supply of water.
One case was for exposing decomposed meat for sale, one for
obstructing the Sanitary Inspector, one for failing to notify a case
of Puerperal Fever, and seven for selling milk without being
registered as required by the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops
Order, 1885.
