Trade Refuses,
The portable iron bins, which your Board ordered to be
placed about the principal market streets in Seven Dials for
the reception of offensive substances in connection with the
businesses carried on there, have served to lessen the
nuisance in regard to stenches in the collection and removal
of animal and vegetable matter, which formerly used to be
scattered by the costermongers and others over the public
way.
Fish offal is removed regularly by private arrangement
made by the tradesmen with the Board's contractor.
Complaints were received occasionally as to nuisances
arising in the conduct of the business of the marine store
dealer, but considering the nature of the articles dealt in,
the shops were found to be kept in fair cleanly condition.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
