Burial Grounds.
Cemetery—This continues in good order. 4,450 interments
have taken place since it was opened.
St. Margaret's Churchyard.—This continues in good order.
The Friends' Burying Ground.—This is still a model of neatness
and order.
Rivers and Streams of District.
There has been very little complaint of the nuisance arising
from the river Roding this year. From further observation I
am convinced that a very large proportion of pollution is traceable to
the northern outfall works of the L.C.C. though I quite admit the
seriousness of the pollution arising above the mill gates.
