I am pleased to inform you that the New Sewage Works of the
Uxbridge Urban District are making good progress, and I trust that when
completed the effluent will no longer pollute the River Colue, as has hitherto
been the case.
Dwellings.—During the year, I condemned as unfit for human habitatation,
a house in Royal Lane, Hillingdon, occupied by H. Clarke, and also a
cottage occupied by C. Woodley, Colham Green; both were repaired and
made habitable. All the cottages at Spring Corner, Hillingdon, which I had
condemned in 1895 have been pulled down and a wall built in their stead;
this is a great improvement.
At West Drayton.—Rumble's Cottages, which I condemned in 1895, have
been repaired and are now habitable. Several cottages on the East side of
West Drayton Green, which I also condemned in 1895, have been pulled
down and new ones erected in their stead.
Hayes.—Dearlove's Cottages in this parish I have already brought to
your notice.
Harefield.—I condemned a cottage at the corner of the Green, occupied
by William Lavender. This has been put into repair, and is now habitable.
These are all the matters dealt with by me during the past year.
Appended to this Report is an account of all matters dealt with by the
Inspector and Assistant Inspector, from which it will be seen that the number
amounted to 830, of which the following is a summary:—
Cowley 110
Harefield 52
Hayes 127
Hillingdon East 354
Northolt 17
Ruislip 56

Your Inspector has given me every assistance in Sanitary matters, and
has carried out my instructions to my satisfaction.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES ROBERTS.
