BAKEHOUSES.
There are 214 bake-houses in the Parish; they have been kept in cleanly
condition and in compliance with the regulations.
MARINE STORES.
There are 54 Marino Stores in the Parish, to which the attention of your
Inspectors is directed to prevent the occurrence of any nuisance, which is very
liable to arise upon premises where much decomposable matter is 6tored. It is a
question whether they should not be classed as an offensive trade.
LEGISLATION.
Public Health (Metropolis) Bill 1885. This bill which, by codification, would
have done for the Metropolis what the Public Health Act has done for the
country generally, still remains in abeyance, together with other Metropolitan
legislation.
Sanitation of Houses (Metropolis) Bill, was a crude measure for the creation of
new Authorities and new Officers, and had little hope of being adopted.
Sanitary Registration of Buildings Bill, seeks to secure the sanitary registration of
Schools, Hospitals, Hotels, etc., but by means that do not meet with general
approval, the Sanitary Authority's power being reduced to a minimum, if not
altogether superseded.
TABLES.
Appended to the Report follow a number of Tables of general and special
interest.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN F. J. SYKES.
Medical Officer of Health.
