REPORT
of the
PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE
TO THE VESTRY.
Your Committee has to report on the following
matters which have come under its notice during the past
year.
Adulteration,
Bills.
A suggestion that bills should be printed
and circulated, cautioning the public against the adulteration
of bread, coffee, and butter was considered by your
Committee, and it was
Resolved:—That such bills be issued.
This was approved by the Vestry on the 30th March,
1892.
Peckham Rye
Snow Shoot.
A letter was received from the London
County Council complaining of the refuse left on Peckham
Rye with the deposited snow, and, after due consideration
Your Committee recommended:—That the Council
be informed that the refuse has been cleared away, the
quantity being very small and that it could not justifiably
be complained of as a nuisance.
This recommendation was adopted by the Vestry, 30th
March, 1893.
