COMBINED DRAINAGE.
It was found necessary to serve notices under the
Metropolis Management Act upon the respective owners in
order to obtain the necessary alteration and amendment of the
following combined drains:—
SMOKE NUISANCES.
The Inspector entrusted with this duty made 538 observations,
varying from one to three hours at a time, compared
with 254 observations during 1905. The observations were
made in respect of laundries 56, temporary vertical boilers
providing power for working cranes used in the construction of
the new London County Council sewer in the district 223,
bakehouses 5, breweries 42, silk mills 6, jam works 21, saw
mills 18, flour mills 5, railway engines 150, miscellaneous 12.
Fifteen intimation and 5 statutory notices were served.
In the case of nuisances from railway engines a warning
notice was sent to the company concerned. It was found
necessary to take out a summons against the contractors before
we could obtain the abatement of the nuisance in Courthill
Road (see Legal Proceedings).
Generally better stoking has been brought about, and in
two cases the chimneys have been heightened. Coke has been
substituted at laundries in several instances.
