The various bake-houses and slaughter-houses have been
inspected and found in a satisfactory condition.
Tables of mortality and of sickness, compiled in accordanœ
with the requirements of the Local Government Board's
instructions, are appended to this report.
In concluding my report, I wish to draw the Council's
attention to the following necessary improvements to the
Sanitary condition of the district, and, whilst knowing that
they have not escaped the Council's attention, to impress upon
the Council the desirability of their proceeding with them
with as little delay as possible : (I) the provision of a
system of sewerage for the Collier Row and part of the
Harold Wood Wards, and (2) the curbing, channelling, and
making up of those roads where houses have been extensively
erected.
The want of a proper system of sewerage removal causes
repeated nuisances injurious to health, and the stagnant
water on badly constructed roads, in the immediate vicinity
of dwelling houses is, undoubtedly, a prolific cause of damp
and disease.
I am, Gentlemen,
Tour obedient Servant,
ALFRED WRIGHT.
