PUBLIC URINALS.
The number of Urinals in the District is 22.
The Urinals are flushed and cleansed twice a day with water
supplied by the East London Water Company, by men employed
by the Board. In hot weather the Urinals are flushed three times
a day.
The attention of the Board having been called to the necessity
of providing Urinal accommodation in the neighbourhood of the
Town Hall, Limehouse, a site at the Triangle was proposed, but the
inhabitants of the locality having strongly objected to the erection
of a Urinal at that place, negociations were commenced with the
owner of Albion House School, with the view of constructing a
Urinal on part of the garden of his house, abutting on Church Row,
but he declined to part with any of the ground for the purpose.
Other sites suitable for the erection of a Urinal are under the consideration
of the Committee appointed with reference thereto.
CLEANSING AND WATERING.
The principal streets, including footways, are cleansed daily,
and the others every second day. In bad weather the whole are
cleansed each day, and the Commercial Road and the East and West
India Dock Roads, twice a day if necessary.
The streets during the season have been watered by the Contractors
with water supplied by the East London Water Company.
