Regular inspections, the particulars of which
are set out in the report of the Inspector of
Nuisances, have been made of cowsheds, dairies
and milkshops, also slaughter-houses and bakehouses,
while a close watch was also kept on the
meat slaughtered, and sold in the district.
I have made many visits to the above places
to see for myself that the byelaws and regulations
are enforced.
Sewerage.
A sewer has been laid in Lavender Hill
during the past year.
An additional filter is about to be constructed
at the Sewage Farm, the same size as the existing
filters (100 feet diameter). This is simply awaiting
the approval of the Local Government Board.
Mr. R. Collins, the Council's Surveyor, also
informs me that a new 24in. and 18in. surface
water drain has been laid from Duck Lees Lane
outfall at the Great Eastern Railway level crossing
to Hertford Road, via Nags Head Road, to
accommodate that portion of Ponders End.
A new culvert now being constructed in
Cecil Road, Sarnesfield Road, Church Street and
Little Park, is approaching completion. This
will greatly accelerate the speedy removal of
storm water from the neighbourhood referred to.
