In bringing under your notice the chief sanitary improvements
which have been carried out during the year, I have to mention
Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11a, Adam's Place, Iledcross Street.
The sanitary condition of these houses was very defective, the
water-closets broken down, water-cisterns exposed to the air, and
no provision for dust. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 11a were put in
order, and 7, 8, and 9 were closed.
Nos. 14, 15, 16, and 17, Pepper Street were in a very dirty and
dilapidated state. The water-closets totally unfit for use, the
paving in the yards very defective, and the water-cisterns in a foul
condition. These evils were effectually remedied.
Nos. 17, 19, 21, and 23, Orange Street were found so dirty and
dilapidated, and the sanitary condition so defective, as to render
them unfit for human habitation. The houses were thoroughly
repaired, and new water-closets and dustbins erected.
Nos. 13, 14, 15, and 16, Isabella Street, and 5, 6, 7, and 8,
Norfolk Street, have had water laid on to the closets, and dustbins
erected. Similar sanitary improvements have been effected at Nos.
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23, Jane Street,
and 11, Collingwood Street.
All the Houses in White Hart Yard, Borough, have been closed,
and remain unoccupied. They were found to be in such defective
sanitary state as to be unfit for human habitation.
A pipe drain has been substituted for a defective brick drain in
Stamford Place, Hatfield Street.
Similar work has been done to remedy defective drainage at Nos.
5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15, Loman Street.
Water-closets have been provided with water in Brunswick
Place, Brunswick Street.
Most of the houses in Henry Place, Red Cross Street, were found
