House Drainage
The Public Urinal under the railway arch at Wheler
street having become a nuisance, by reason of the
unsuitableness of the position and the insufficiency of
the accommodation provided, it was resolved that it
should be abolished, and that a Urinal to accommodate
six persons should be erected in Bethnal Green road, at
its junction with Sclater street. This lias been done,
the new Urinal being fitted up by Mr. Jennings, of
Lambeth, with the most improved fittings.
Urinals.
It was also resolved that the land belonging to the
Vestry at the corner of Gibraltar walk and Bethnal
Green road should be occupied by a Urinal. Considerable
difficulty was experienced in selecting a suitable
pattern, in consequence of the levels of the site, but
ultimately an accommodation for six persons, by Messrs.
MacFarlane, Ironfounders, was determined on, and with
the improved paving of the surrounding area, has
materially improved the sanitary condition of the
locality.
The Urinals at Cabbage court, Northampton street,
and Treadway street, have been altered, and a constant
water supply furnished on the "Trough" system.
