Sanitary Conveniences.
Great attention was again paid to the Urinals
attached to the premises licensed for the sale of
intoxicating liquors. In twenty-four instances these were
found to be in an insanitary condition. The defects were
all subsequently remedied, a statutory notice being issued
in one instance only. The Justices of the Brentford
Division, in which Twickenham is situate, were apprised
of the general sanitary condition of the licensed premises
prior to the renewal of the licences.
