Offensive Trades.
Several trades coming under this heading, viz.: sausage skin
making, fish skin curing, are now being carried on in the district.
No complaint has been brought to me during the past year of
nuisance arising therefrom.
Scavenging.
This is in my opinion very well carried out
Collection of House Refuse.
This is undertaken by the Council and is fairly well carried out.
The accumulation of rough dust at the Council's sboot is not in my
opinion a proper method for its disposal.
I think there is little doubt that these accumulations of rubbish
are decidedly damaging to the infantile health of the town. The
dust shoot belonging to the East Ham Council on the Beckton
Marshes is also much to be condemned, and I hope very soon that
a destructor will be provided by both Councils.
Fish Offal Collection.
The Fishmongers of the town are provided with properly constructed
iron pails, which are removed by the Council's men, and
emptied outside the town.
Sewerage of the District.
The method of precipitation adopted is still the same as formerly;
1 think some modification of the present system might be adopted
with advantage.
Over-the-Oates.
All the houses have now been connected to the new sewer.
Kennedy Estate.
The main sewerage work here is also completed, the private
house drains'are nearly all connected,
Ventilation of Sewers.
In my opinion, the method of ventilating the public sewers, by
means of the private house drain ventilator, is open to serious
objection.
