To efficiently water the whole of the streets in the Parish during the very warm
weather it is in my opinion necessary that two additional vans be obtained.
Urinals.
The Public Urinals in the Parish now number nine ; two additional ones were fixed
during the past year.
The situation and accommodation is as follows:—
SITUATION.

"Half-way House," Rotherhithe New Road

In addition to the above, two six-stall urinals are maintained in Southwark Park Road
by the Vestry of Bermondsey at the joint expense of the two Vestries.
To ensure a more uniform consumption of water consistent with the accommodation, a
regulation tap with bye pass for flushing purposes has been fixed on the supply pipe of each
urinal which will, I am sure, considerably economise the water.
The following urinals attached to public-houses are cleansed by the urinal man; they
are open to the roadway and accessible to the general public
"Dover Castle," Rotherhithe Street
"Royal George," Union Road
"Britannia," Neptune Street
"Prince of Orange," Lower Road
