In pursuance of your committees instructio is, I inspected all the
P.H. urinals in my district, and am pleased to inform you that in each
case where a nuisance existed, it was remedied. In several cases, a
water supply was fixed without any demur from the landlord.
In compliance with your Committee's instructions, summonses,
were taken out for infringements of the London County Council
Bye-laws, viz. 28th July, two summonses, in which the owner
was fined 12s. in each case; September 16th, two summonses,
owners fined 12s. and 5s. respectively. The Solicitor, who represented
the Defendant who was fined 12s. asked Mr. Mead, the Magistrate,
to state a Case for the Higher Court, which application was refused.
I am pleased to say that the above cases, have had the desired effect,
i.e. in preventing owners and builders in fitting, or refixing, any
sanitary apparatus, without the supervision of your Inspector.
On the 25th August, I attended before Mr. Dickinson, at the
Thames Police Court, when a summons was heard, to rescind a
closing order, which had been made some years previous, against the
owners of 1, 2, and 3 Elizabeth Cottages, and 1, 2, 3, and 4 Sophia
Street. In company with yourself, I inspected the premises almost
daily, during the time they were under repair, which was done to
your satisfaction), the houses having been redrained and put into a
thorough sanitary state. The rescinding order was granted.
Several cases of overcrowding have been abated in my district,
upon the service of an "intimation."
