Inspector.
To His Worship the Mayor, the Aldermen and Councillors of the
County Borough of East Ham.
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my twentieth Annual
Report on the work done by the Sanitary Inspectors during the
year ended 31st December, 1915.
INSPECTION OF THE BOROUGH AND ABATEMENT OF
NUISANCES.
The total number of primary inspections made during the year
under consideration was 5,475 as compared with 6,022 for the
year 1914.
These include house to house inspections, visits to premises
upon complaint of nuisance, inspection of markets, workshops,
slaughterhouses, bakehouses, cowsheds, dairies, etc.
The health of the Borough is the first consideration of the
inspectorial staff, who perform this work with one object in view
—that the Borough may maintain its good record of being a
healthy district.
