May 4th. Gulley, Mildmay Road. Complaint was made by
residents that sewer gas issued from this gulley. The gulley
was examined, and found connected to the surface drain in
the road. It has since been trapped. A sample of the water
from the gulley was submitted to me, and I found it to be
stagnant road water.
May 21st. Pigstyes, &c., Marlborough Road. Visited these
premises and examined the works which had been carried out by
Mr. Whiff.en, the owner, who had been summoned for not
complying with a notice, and reported to the Council that they
had been satisfactorily performed.
June 28th. Ditch near Thorpe Villas, Havering Road. Complaint
was made by a resident that sewage matter was flowing
along this ditch. A sample of the water was submitted to
me, and I found it to be natural ditch water.
Nov. 12th. No. 76 and Nos. 1 to 6, Victoria Row, Queen
Street. A sample of the water from the well supplying these
cottages was submitted to me for analysis, and found to be
bad. A supply from the South Essex Water Company's mains
has been provided.
Nov. 15th. 46, George Street. A sample of the water from
the well supplying this house was submitted to me for analysis.
I was unable to say that it was bad, and requested the Inspector
to furnish me with another sample in about a month.
Nov. 18th. Two Cottages, Sungate, Collier Row. At the
reuqest of the Inspector I visited these premises to ascertain
their habitable condition, and in consequence of the defective
roof, their damp and dilapidated condition. I reported to the
Council that in their present state they were not fit for habitation.
Notices have been served on the owner to make them
fit for habitation. Both are at present unoccupied.
