SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
The Council has now finally decided to build an underground
convenience for both sexes at the junction of Church Road and
Lea Bridge Road. The site has been purchased and the estimated
cost of the building of the conveniences is £1,650
As pointed out in previous reports, a sanitary convenience is
urgently needed at a spot near the intersection of the Crownfield,
Cann Hall and Leytonstone Roads.
WATER SUPPLY OF THE DISTRICT.
The supply of water to the district by the Metropolitan Water
Board is quite satisfactory in all respects.
MILK SUPPLY.
As reported in former years very few cows are now kept in
the district.
Only 6 cowkeepers, who among them keep 51 cows, now
remain.
Some of the difficulties encountered in the endeavour to ensure
the supply of clean milk to consumers have been pointed out in
previous Reports.
Endeavour has been made by the Medical Officer of Health
as far as possible to discourage the selling of milk by the small
general dealer, but his powers in this direction are very limited.
SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
One new licence, renewable annually, was granted to a purchaser
of an old-established business, of which the outgoing
occupier had previously held a slaughterhouse licence.
UNSOUND OR DISEASED MEAT.
A bullock carcase extensively affected with tuberculosis was
found in a slaughterhouse by one of the Sanitary Inspectors and
was seized, and by the order of a magistrate was destroyed.
