I have reported to you so frequently upon trades' nuisances, that I do
not think it necessary to enter much on this subject. I may remark that
the Potteries are in a more cleanly and healthy condition, principally owing
to the improved drainage afforded by the Metropolitan Board of Works,
and that Jennings' Buildings is now comparatively clean.
With regard to the Tallow Melting Establishment, known as Messrs.
Tuckers', in the High Street, Kensington, constant supervision has been
exercised over it. A Report has been handed to you by Professor Miller
and myself, which shews that the offensive smells ought to be reduced to a
minimum if the subordinates attended properly to the valves connected with
the flues. The Proprietor has been put to very considerable expense in
endeavouring to abate the nuisance and, I am certain, will do all in his
power to mitigate the evil.
I am, Gentlemen,
Tour faithful Servant,
F. GODRICH,
Medical Officer of Health.
