The Medical Officer of Health points out that, owing to the extension of
the jurisdiction of the Port Sanitary Authority granted in 1898, many
premises within the area of the Docks, including factories, workplaces,
workshops, private residences, &c., have required and received inspection, and
an application has been made to the Local Government Board for the assignment
of further powers under the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, with
a view to dealing effectually with nuisances arising thereon.
Among other matters included in the Report is an account of the large
quantities of unsound food stuffs which have been detected by the Food
Inspectors during the year, and destroyed as unfit for human food.
The Hospital at Denton, which has hitherto been lighted with oil, has been
recently connected by main with the Gas Company's works at Gravesend, and
the grounds and interior of the Hospital are now satisfactorily lighted.
In accordance with the Order of your Honourable Court, an account of
Receipts and Expenditure in connection with the Port of London Sanitary
Authority for the year ended the 31st December last, is appended for the
information of the Court.
All which we submit to the judgment of your Honourable Court.
Dated this third day of April, 1906.
