LEGAL PROCEEDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH NUISANCES.
The total number of summonses issued in respect of various nuisances was only
3, as against 10 in 1911. Having regard to the fact that more nuisances were
discovered, more notices served and more work done, this reduction is regarded as
most gratifying. Of the summonses, only one was issued under the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891 ; one was under the Metropolis Management Act, 1855 ; and one
under the By-laws of the London County Council relating to the removal of offensive
refuse.
Particulars with regard to cases under the Unsound Food sections of the Public
Health Act, the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, &c., are given under the appropriate
