Canal Boats Acts.—The Sanitary Inspector in charge of the
Northern portion of the Parish has made frequent visits to that
portion of the Regent's Canal which is situated within our Sanitary
Area, and a detailed result of his inspections will be found
in his Report on pages 47 and 48.
Besides those already mentioned, 1 have made numerous
Reports to your Public Health Committee on the various matters
which have occupied its attention, and twice during the year I
have visited and reported upon four slaughter-houses, two cowsheds,
and 34 bakehouses situated in the Parish, with the result
that notices to cleanse, whitewash and remedy other sanitary
defects were served upon the owners of one cowshed, one slaughterhouse
and 25 bakehouses.
I have also visited 126 dwelling-houses, factories and workshops
of which complaints were received, and in every instance
in which the Vestry's notice has not been complied with, and in
such cases in which summonses have been granted I have
attended the police court in support of the same.
In conclusion I beg to tender my best thanks to the Public
Health Committee and the Vestry for the continued confidence
reposed in me and the officers under my charge ; also to express
my appreciation of the assistance afforded me in carrying out the
ofttimes onerous duties of the position I have the honour to fill.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
G. E. YARROW, M.D., D.P.H., &c.
