Manure. —The unloading of London manure and refuse at the
railway stations in this District was fast becoming a nuisance during the
past year, and gave us a considerable amount of trouble. I am glad to be
able to state that at your request the Railway Company stopped the
traffic of the manure and refuse during the summer months.
Allotments at New Southgate. Many complaints were received
of the keeping of large numbers of pigs and also horses on these allotments,
and not unfrequently persons were found living and sleeping in
some of the large sheds erected on them and intended for the keeping of
stores and implements.
The owner, at your request, gave notice to the allotment holders to
discontinue the keeping of pigs and to remove the pigsties and sheds in
question. For the sake of those living in the immediate neighbourhood
it is to be hoped that the general management of these allotments
will receive such attention as will entirely do away with, and effectually
prevent a repetition of such serious nuisances.
Cowsheds, Dairies, Slaughter-houses and Bakehouses.
These have all been inspected systematically and have been kept, on the
whole, in a satisfactory condition in accordance with the Bye-Laws.
