SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Sanitary Inspector
FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER, 1913.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Wimbledon.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my report of the work carried out
in my Department for the year ended 31st December, 1913, in
connection with the abatement and suppression of nuisances
and other matters under the Public Health Acts, Factory and
Workshop Act, Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, Shops Act,
Diseases of Animals Acts, etc.; also in connection with the
enforcement of the various Bye-laws and Regulations made by
the Local Authority, and as the result of house to house inspection,
the supervision and testing of drains, the inspection of
Workshops, Bakehouses, Restaurants, Slaughter-houses,
Butchers' and Fishmongers' premises, Dairies, Cowsheds, and
Milkshops, etc.
Much of the substance contained herein will, of necessity,
be but a repetition of matters to which the attention of the
Council has already been directed through the medium of my
monthly reports, but this Report will give a clearer and more
comprehensive record of the work carried out during the year
than it is possible to obtain from them. Table V. gives a summary
in detail of the various nuisances abated and sanitary
improvements effected.
