In each compartment one of the w. c.'s is free of
charge. That in the women's is much used, and it seems desirable
to retain it, but in the men's the privilege is much
abused, the w. c. and its fittings being much defiled.
The structure was built by Messrs. C. W. Killingback &
Co., from designs prepared by your Surveyer. The sanitary
fittings are by Mr. G. Jennings. The total cost of the
work was £2,140 2s. 7d.
Trees have been planted by your Board around the
site, and the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association has
planted shrubs around the staircases leading down to the
Lavatories.
Public Urinals.
The public urinals in the District number 14, and contain
46 compartments; 11 have water laid on to them,
the others are without water supply. The whole are
cleansed daily by the Board's workmen.
The urinal in Nottingham Court being in a bad state of
repair, your Board decided to demolish the same, which was
accordingly done.
The urinal in Bidgmount Gardens was removed in
November, 1891.
The urinalin Parker Street, which accommodated 2 persons,
being complained of by the adjoining householders, was
removed in September last, and a new urinal with 3 compartments
was erected by Mr. G. Jennings, at a cost of
£57 9s. 5d.
