Borough
Market
Cleansing
In November, 1891, the Board appointed a deputation,
consisting of Messrs. Baxter, Grattan, and Rose, to wait upon
the Trustees of the Borough Market relative to the cleansing
of the Borough Market and its approaches, the streets contiguous
to the Market not having been cleansed to the
satisfaction of the Board, and with the object of suggesting
to the Trustees that the Board should undertake the work
either by its own contractors or by a staff of its own. The
deputation waited on the Trustees on the 13th November, and
found that the object which they had in view had been
anticipated, the Trustees having resolved that so soon as they
could terminate their agreement with their Contractors they
would do so and ask the Board to carry out the work, paying
the Board such amount as they had been in the habit of
paying their Contractors for the same. Negotiations ensued,
and ultimately it was arranged that the Board should undertake
the work for the sum of £550 per annum, the Trustees,
at their own expense, providing a sufficient supply of water
for flushing the gangways and footpaths of the Market, and
also providing all valves and plugs necessary in so doing. A
contract was entered into for the term of three years from
the 24th June, 1892, and the Board is carrying out the work,
utilising for that purpose the staff which was engaged for the
cleansing of the footways.
This fresh arrangement led necessarily to some modification
and an enlargement of the staff, plant, &c., details of which
will be found in the Surveyor's Report. Moreover, a shoot
had to be obtained for the refuse, a necessity which has been
supplied by the Strand Board of Works, who allow the refuse
to be delivered at their premises, the Shot Tower Wharf,
Commercial Road, Lambeth, at the rate of 2s. 4d. per ton, for
which purpose a contract has been entered into for one year
from the 24th June, 1892.
Sanitary
Committee.
The Board, by special resolution passed on the 6th January,
1892, constituted the Sanitary Committee a Committee for the
purposes of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, in accordance
with Sect. 99, Sub-sect. 4, of that Act, which provides as
follows:—
