The Vestry have made every provision for the efficient
carrying out of the Aldulteration of Food, &c., Act,
1872, and appointed Dr. Coener as Analyst, and Mr.
Leshaw as Inspector thereunder.
The salary of the analyst has been fixed at £52 10s.,
and a fee of 7s. 6d. for each analysis. The fee payable
by a private purchaser to have an article analyzed is 5s.
In consequence of the numerous additional duties
which have from time to time been cast upon the Inspector
of Nuisances by the legislature, and also on
account of his appointment as Inspector under the
Adulteration Act, the Vestry have increased Mr.
Leshaw's salary to £160 per Annum.
The Vestry desire to bring to the notice of the Ratepayers
the great increase in the number of public bills
brought before Parliament which would affect this
Hamlet.
In the Session of 1874 there were
(a) The Metropolitan Building and Management
Bill.
(b) The Locomotives on Roads Bill.
(c) The Slaughter-houses Bill.
In the 'present Session there are
(d) Municipality of London Bill.
(e) Metropolis Gas Companies Bill to amend the
Metropolis Gas Act 1860.
(f) Metropolis Gas Works.
(g) Metropolis Gas Undertakings Purchase.
(h) Artizans Dwellings Bill.
(i) Freeing Bridges.
(k) Adulteration of Food &c.
Each of the aforegoing was deemed by the Vestry to
be of such importance that it was referred to a special
committee for consideration and report.
