Bake-Houses.
These houses, of which there are twenty-six, have been periodically inspected.
Notices were obliged to be served on some of the owners, who were judged not to keep
their places in so sanitary a condition as was desirable and possible.
Slaughter-Houses and Cow-Sheds.
Upon the annual application fur renewal of licenses, as well as at various other
times, these premises have been examined, and reported upon as being in" such
a condition as to warrant a renewal of the licenses.
Acorn Place.
In March, 1887, my attention having been called to the state of Acorn
Place, I visited and reported specially upon it to the following effect:—The
complaint is almost entirely as to the state of the road from Nos. 5 to 10. The
water had accumulated to a depth of six inches, over the gulley grating, gradually
decreasing in depth in each direction. The road in this part was covered with mud.
As the water seemed to be purely surface-water (not mixed with any house-refuse),
and was more a matter of annoyance, than an injury to health, the suggestions I
then made to the Vestry have since been carried out.
