817 in 1902. 115 bodies were buried in the Plumstead
Churchyard, compared with 146, 164, 144, and 125 in the four
preceding years.
Bye-Laws foe Tents, Vans, and Sheds.
54. Tents and vans were kept under observation, and 12
special inspections made. Where necessary the bye-laws as
to water and closet accommodation were enforced.
Customs and Inland revenue Act.
55. Application was made under this Act for a certificate
for a house comprising 16 dwellings. This is the house already
referred to, in which I found several dwellings insufficiently
lighted; in addition to this defect none of the dwellings comprised
a bedroom containing 900 cubic feet, i.e., there is no
bedroom large enough for a father and mother and two infants
to sleep. The certificate was consequently refused.
Public Ambulance.
56. In my last report I described how an ambulance for
accidents and non-infectious illness had been provided by
public subscription, vested in trustees (the Rector of Woolwich,
Messrs. Kelham, Lewis, and Dr. S. Davies) and put in the care
of Mr. Chick, Cab proprietor, to horse and let at the statutory
cab fares. The ambulance was used 90 times during 1903.
