I may here add that since the supervision of slaughter-houses and
cow-houses have been transferred by the London County Council to
the Borough, the premises have been inspected once a month by the
inspectors.
Bake-Houses.—The annual inspection of these by the Public
Health Committee took place in the month of June. The following
is a summary of the results of inspection:—
Bake-houses inspected 119
In satisfactory condition 87
Requiring cleansing 17
„ repairs 15
Notices were served for the cleansing and repairs which were
immediately executed.
Smoke Nuisances.—During the year 1754 observations were made
by the Smoke Inspector and 78 intimations and statutory notices
were serves for the abatement of this nuisance. The nuisances were
abated without further legal proceeeings.
STORM FLOODINGS.
On the 27th July, 1901, an excessive fall of rain took place in the
borough, resulting in the surcharging of certain sewers of the
district, and the flooding with sewage of a large number of houses
in certain low-lying parts of the districts. The places chiefly
affected were Clapton Park and Hackney Wick.
I immediately took steps, in conjunction with the Borough
Engineer and Surveyor, to have the flooded houses put into a proper habitable condition.
Below is a table showing the streets and
houses affected, and particulars of the measures taken with their cost:
