I have reported monthly on the quality of the Gas supplied
by the South Metropolitan Gas Company, and have invariably
found it to be of good quality ; in illuminating power above the
standard, and free (according to the legal tests) from either
ammonia or sulphuretted hydrogen.
I have continued to report also monthly on the condition of
the waters furnished by the water Companies supplying the
Parish, viz.:—the Southwark, the Lambeth and the Kent, and
have found their waters to maintain a satisfactory state of
purity
In conclusion, Gentlemen, I have to record my satisfaction
with the continued zeal and ability of your Inspectors of
Nuisances, and especially to thank you for the unfailing courtesy
and kindness with which you reward my efforts to discharge the
duties of my office.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J, S. BR1STOWE.
