HOUSE INSPECTION.
1. General House Inspection:
Houses inspected during year, including house-to-house
inspection, complaints, etc., but excluding infectious
diseases 2537
Number of these houses in which defects were found (as
per monthly Reports) 2007
2. Systematic House-to-House Inspection:
Wards—Principally confined to Cannhall, Wanstead Slip, and
Harrow Green Wards.
Roads—The following roads were included in house-to-house
inspection, in addition to which, however, certain portions
of other roads not mentioned here were inspected:
Acacia Road, Argyle Street, Ashlin Road, Ashville
Road, Avenue Road, Beechcroft Road,
Burgess Road, Cecil Road, Cobbold Road,
Cobden Road, Downsell Road, Dunmow Road,
Ellingham Road. Elm Road, Gilbert Road,
Gladstone Street, Granville Road, Harrow
Road. Holloway Road, Kingsdown Road,
Manby Road. Melrose Road, Newcomen Road,
Oakdale Road, Pearcroft Road, Sansom Road,
Stewart Road, Temple Mills Lane, Temple
Street, Thornton Road, and Woodhouse Road.
It will be seen from the above that the house inspection, both
systematic and general, has been very extensive, and entailed a large
amount of work on the part of the Sanitary Department.
I must draw special attention to the results of the careful systematic
inspection of houses in the Cannhall Ward.
