Annual Report of Chief Sanitary Inspector.
To the Chairman and Members of the Rotherhithe Vestry—
Gentlemen,
I have the honour herewith to present to you my First Annual Report of the work done
during the year ending 31st December, 1894, in connection with the Sanitary Department
of the Yestry.
Smoke Nuisances.
The following is a list of infringements of the 24th Section of the Public Health
(London) Act, 1891 (Smoke consumption), as reported to the Yestry during the year.
Mr. Dennis, 246, Eotherhithe New Road: Mr. Arnold, 16, Ilderton Road, no recurrence.
Messrs. Enthoven & Son, Upper Ordnance Wharf, Rotherhithe Street, and Messrs.
Quirk, Barton & Co., Normandy Wharf, Rotherhithe Street; in each of these cases no
recurrence of the nuisance occurred after service of Notice to abate the same.
With reference to complaint against Messrs. Burt, Boulton & Haywood, of Barnard's
Wharf, Rotherhithe Street, observation was kept of the premises, but no nuisance could be
detected.
Fire, King and Queen Granaries.
The above premises were visited with respect to a number of Boxes of Dates which had
been damaged by the fire which occurred on the 25th February. Notice was served upon the
Salvage Officer in charge, stating that the said dates must not be removed without
permission of the Yestry ; an undertaking was given by the Contractor to the Salvage
Corportion, that the dates in question would be destroyed, which was subsequently done.
