It is hoped that no further loss of time will occur as the
want of tenement dwellings in the neighbourhood is much
felt.
Sanitary and Nuisances Removal Acts.
A large amount of work has been carried out under the
above Acts during the past year, the details of which will
be found in the Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
In cases where the Owners or Occupiers failed to comply
with the Orders made by the Board, proceedings were taken
and in every instance the Orders made were supported by
the Magistrate and fines and costs were inflicted in most of
them.
The question of the necessity for the frequent removal of
manure was brought to the attention of the Board by Mr.
Alfred Hoare, C.C., one of the Representatives of the
Holborn Division of Finsbury on the London County
Council and the Board directed the Clerk to issue a Notice
to every occupier of Stables in the District, drawing attention
to the provisions of the Nuisances Removal Act upon
the subject, and urging upon them the necessity for complying
therewith by ensuring the frequent periodical removal
of manure and it is satisfactory to state that, but few complaints
are received of any failure to comply with the
Board's instructions.
Lodging House Regulations,
These regulations continue to considerably assist the
Board in dealing with houses let in lodgings or occupied by
members of more than one family.
There are 553 Registered Lodging Houses in the District.
