Sanitary Department,
Council Offices,
Ilford,
February 26th, 1901.
To the Chairman and Members
of the Ilford Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have much pleasure in placing before you a short
report of the work carried out in the Sanitary Department
during the year ending 31st December, 1900.
1.—Since my last report, the long-standing insanitary
condition of the cottages in Bennett's Castle Lane has been
removed. They are now efficiently drained; the w.c.'s
provided with flushing cisterns; and the yards paved and
drained.
NUISANCES.
2.—The large number of nuisances remaining unabated
is accounted for by the notices having been served late in the
year, and also through non-compliance of notices respecting
60 cottages, over which there was a difference of opinion
between the Owners and the Council as to the liability
respecting certain drainage.
