sances were served between 31st December, 1894, and 31st
December, 1895.
In most cases the first notices served were attended to,
and it was not necessary, except in a few instances, to resort
to legal proceedings.
Table VI in the Medical Officer's Report shows the
number of complaints brought under the notice of the Board
and the Committees, and the proceedings taken thereon.
On receipt of notice from any person of any nuisance or
defect the Board's officers will at once attend to the matter,
and proceedings will be taken if the matter comes properly
within the Board's jurisdiction under the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891.
House to House Inspections.
The house to house inspections in the District were continued.
In all cases where defects were discovered orders
were made and notices were served and followed up until the
defects were remedied.

as to the removal of dust. Personal enquiry was made into
each such case.

once in each week as near as practicable.
The Board again request all householders to observe
the following suggestions as a means of facilitating this
work:—

To burn (in small quantities at a time) all animal or
vegetable refuse.
To place no animal or vegetable refuse in the dustbins.
To cleanse, and disinfect and limewash, or limewhite
periodically the dust bins where necessary.
To forward complaints of the non-removal of dust to
the Clerk of the Board, at their Offices.
