PUBLIC URINALS.
The number of Urinals in the District is now 23.
In consequence of numerous complaints made to the Board as
to the need of Urinal accommodation in the neighbourhood of
Parnham Street, Limehouse, the matter was referred to the Works
Committee, who recommended the Board to put up a Urinal in
Blount Street, at the corner of Parnham Street. The recommendation
was approved by the Board, and the works have been
carried out by the Contractor in accordance with the Plan and
Estimate.
One of the screens of the Urinal in West Gardens, Shadwell
has been repaired.
A brick dummy has been built in the angle of the Railway
Arch in St. Paul's Road, and posts and chains fixed in order to
prevent nuisances being committed.
CLEANSING AND WATERING.
The principal Streets throughout the District, including footways,
are cleansed daily, and the others every second day, except in
bad weather when the whole are cleansed each day, and the
Commercial Road and the East and West India Dock Roads twice
a day if necessary.
During the season the streets have been watered by the
Contractors with water supplied by the East London Water Works
Company—the quantity of water used being 6,051,000 gallons for
the season 1884.
The Courts and Alleys throughout the District have been
Hushed with water during the hot dry weather.
GENERAL WORKS.
A street rest has been formed in the East India Dock Road,
opposite the Eastern Hotel, for the convenience of the foot traffic at
that point and to prevent accidents, and a lamp with a 10 feet
burner has been fixed to the post in the centre.
The Courts and Alleys throughout the District have been
lime-whited.
