PUBLIC URINALS.
A new Urinal, with two compartments, has been constructed
next the "Ship" Public-house, Three Colt Street, Limehouse.
The Urinal lately at the corner of York Road, Ratcliff, has
been removed, and a slate urinal with four compartments, lighted
with a Lamp, has been erected at the South east corner of York
Street East.
The Urinals are flushed and cleansed with water by men
employed by the Board, and have been maintained in good order.
CLEANSING & WATERING.
The principal paved streets are cleansed daily, and the others
not less than twice a week.
During the past season the whole of the streets have been
constantly watered by the Contractors with water from the East
London Water Works.
With reference to the performance of the duties of the Inspector
for No. 2 District, vacant by the resignation of Inspector
Burgin, a scheme was proposed by me and adopted by the Board
as follows, viz.:—
The Inspectors for Nos. 1 and 3 Districts have been relieved
from the duty of superintending the cleansing and watering of their
Districts, and they have been appointed for sanitary and street
purposes Inspectors of 2 Districts—No. 1 including Limehouse and
that part of Ratcliff North of the Commercial Road, and No. 2
District comprising that part of Ratcliff South of the Commercial
Road, and Shad well and Wapping; and an Inspector has been
appointed for the whole of the District (except the Commercial
and East and West India Roads) to superintend the cleansing and
watering. The sweepers have been divided into gangs for the
whole of the District, irrespective of parishes, with a ganger to each
gang. The alterations thus made have hitherto worked satisfactorily.
