BAKEHOUSES.
All these have been personally inspected by me, and periodically by
the Inspectors. There is a marked improvement in the condition of the
greater number of Bakehouses in the Parish.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
These were all inspected by me, and periodically by the Sanitary
Inspectors. On every occasion their reports have been satisfactory.
COW SHEDS.
These have received attention from me and the Inspectors, and, on the
whole, I believe the Cow Sheds in Fulham would bear comparison with
any in the Metropolis.
NUISANCES.
The Gipsies have, as usual, been a source of great trouble, especially at
Adeney Road and the end of Wandsworth Bridge Road.
RE BAD SMELLS IN FULHAM PALACE ROAD.
Many complaints have been made concerning constant smells arising
from the Distillery and Saccharine Works in Fulham Palace Road. These
have received my special attention. The Distillery Company are
constructing a new system of drainage; the Saccharine Company are
building improved furnaces for the charcoal. I expect that these works,
when carried out, will remove any cause of complaint in the future.
BE EVERINGTON STREET BOARD SCHOOLS.
These Schools were closed, by my instructions, for six weeks, Scarlet
Fever having been very prevalent in the district. The whole of the drains
have been opened, cleansed and re-trapped.
BE WEST LONDON (LATE HAMMERSMITH) POLICE COURT.
This Police Court having been for several years in a most unhealthy and
dirty condition, I tried, without effect, to have an alteration made and get
it properly cleansed. No notice having been taken of my request, I
finally served an official notice on the Hon. Mr. Plunket to have the work
done. This has now been carried out in a most satisfactory manner.
