TO THE VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Gentlemen,
The following pages exhibit in
summary the proceedings of the Sanitary Committee
in execution of the powers conferred on
them for the removal of Nuisances, the improvement
of dwellings, and for other Sanitary purposes.
For information relating to the health and mortality
of the population, I beg to refer you to my
quarterly Reports, three of which have now been
published.
During the year terminating March the 25th,
1861, 356 Notices of Orders were issued. The
required improvements have been in every instance
carried out.
The owners of the house No. 6, Alfred Terrace,
having neglected for more than twenty-eight days
after Notice served on them to construct a drain
and other works therein mentioned, proceedings
were commenced against them under the 73rd
Section of the Local Management Act; but in
consequence of the parties liable having complied
with the requirements of the Order, these proceedings
were suspended.
The following is an Alphabetical list of the
principal streets and places in which Sanitary
works have been carried out during the year.
