been deposited, and the Council are, at present, taking the
matter into consideration with a view to disposing of the
refuse in a more sanitary and desirable way.
MILK SUPPLY.
In last year's report I presented a very full account of
the milk supply of Ilford, and there is nothing further to
add to it this year, save that the premises are constantly
inspected, and there are now 7 cowsheds and 51 dairies and
milkshops on the register.
One man was summoned, under Section 7 of the Dairies,
Cowsheds and Milkshops Order of 1885, for occupying as a
dairy, premises in which provision was not made for lighting
and ventilation, including air-space, and the cleansing,
drainage, and water supply of same. He was fined £10,
and since then has taken other premises and provided
reasonable accommodation.
SEWAGE WORKS.
During the year several complaints were received as to
smells alleged to be proceeding from the sewage works.
The Council obtained the services of Mr. G. R.
Strachan, Mem.Inst.C. E., to make a report on the works.
He made various recommendations which are at present
being carried out, as covering in the septic tanks and
carriers, which, when complete, should go a long way
towards removing any alleged nuisance.
