Trade Nuisances.
Complaints of three Trade Nuisances have been received
and upon proof of the case they have been abated in every
instance.
«
Underground Conveniences.
I have supervised the work of the Attendants at the Underground
Conveniences, and constantly inspected the premises,
day and night, on Sundays and all Bank Holidays. Some
repairs, alterations and painting have been done during the year.
I have always found that the Conveniences were clean and well
kept, and I am able to report satisfactorily on the work done by
the Attendants, whose duties are chiefly arranged by me.
Public Urinals.
The 23 Public Urinals in the Borough situated above ground
have been constantly inspected and all repairs attended to, and
I have found the Urinals well flushed and clean, both week-days
and Sundays.
The Shelter, Grove Road.
I have frequently inspected the Baths and Disinfector, and
several alterations and repairs have been done during the year.
I have found everything kept very clean and well attended to by
the men in charge.
Hotels, Restaurants, Coffee Shops and Dining
Rooms.
Of these, I have made inspections of 220 premises, special
attention being given to the kitchens and all places where food
is stored or kept. The lavatory accommodation has also been
well inspected.
