Drainage By-laws.—The Board approved of the London
County Council making by-laws respecting drainage for the
use of the London Sanitary Authorities.
Outworkers in the Clothing Trades.—That the lists for
each sanitary district should be prepared by the Home Office.
Overcrowding and the Housing of the Working Classes.—
The Board informed the Vestry of Bermondsey that while
sympathising with all efforts for improving the housing of the
working classes, they are not, in the absence of any practicable
scheme respecting the same, able to take any action in the
matter.
Public Abattoirs jor London.—The Board expressed the
opinion that it was strongly opposed to the provision of
public abattoirs in London.
I had the honour of opening a discussion on the subject
at the Sanitary Institute, and shall be happy to let any
Member of the Board have a printed copy of my paper
and the discussion.
I thank the Members and Officers of the Board for all
the kindness, courtesy, and co-operation that I have received.
I desire especially to acknowledge the excellent and
cordial co-operation afforded by your Sanitary Inspector, Mr.
Thomas Ashdown.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. A. BOND.
