railway companies having stations in the City:—
EAST DISTRICT.
London, Tilbury and Southend Railway.
Fenchurch Street Station.
Platforms and approaches disinfected and swept four times daily. Spitting
cards on platforms and approaches to ticket offices. They are not well placed
and unlikely to attract attention. Spitting Notices are in all the London,
Tilbury and Southend Railway Company's carriages; those belonging to the
Great Eastern Railway Company will be supplied with Notices on return to
yard for usual repairs. Carriages cleansed at Stratford, Ilfordand Woolwich.

unlikely to give offence to the most fastidious.
