Hospital, which has been so difficult to obtain and
much needed for so large and growing a parish as
Chiswick.
I attended the West London Police Court in
October with regard to several serious sanitary defects
existing in houses in Windmill Road, Wood Street,
Mona Terrace, and Dorchester Grove; in consequence
of the summonses not having been complied

fine of 40/- and costs.
I also attended in November in reference to defective
drainage at 429, High Road, Chiswick. In
this case the landlord was fined £5, he having also
neglected to comply with the summons; and again in
December I attended and gave evidence concerning
two houses in Upham Park Road, where the following
sanitary defects were found, viz.: no disconnecting
trap between the house drains and sewer, in addition
to other insanitary arrangements.

The bakeries have been kept in good order, and
as by degrees new ones are being built, with modern
appliances, the health of the workmen will improve,
and bakers will not in future be a short-lived class.
Slaughter houses.
These have been kept in a fairly satisfactory condition.
