On the Report of the Sanitary Committee being
presented to the Vestry, the following resolutions
were passed:—
1. That the Vestry is of opinion that it is desirable that Stratton
Place should be demolished, but that its powers are too limited
for the purpose.
2. That the removal of the end house of Francis Court would be
a decided advantage.
3. That the attention of the Metropolitan Board of Works be
called to Berkley Court, Eagle Court, Jerusalem Court, and
Aylesbury Place, they being, in the opinion of the Vestry, cases
which should be dealt with by a Metropolitan authority, and
that the clauses in the Act of 1882, by which the application
of Sir Richard Cross's Act in such cases is limited to areas of
not less than 10 houses, should be repealed.
4. That it be an instruction to the Surveyor to furnish the
Vestry with the probable cost of removing No. 6½, Bishop's
Court only, and also of removing the premises, 18. St. John's
Square, preparatory to the consideration of the question of the
desirability of demolishing same as obstructive buildings.
5. That the Metropolitan Board of Works, and the Home Office,
be requested to exercise more supervision over plans for new
buildings, especially for Artizans' Dwellings and the like, with
regard to their sanitary provisions, including light and air.
6. That in addition to the D cards issued, a notice be affixed in
some conspicuous place in every Court, stating the days in
each week on which the dustbins are to be emptied, and that
the dustmen, as servants of the Vestry, are forbidden to
demand any gratuity for emptying them, and that complaints
of incivility or neglect on their part can be made at the Vestry
Hall.
7. That the Courts be flushed once a week during the months of
June, July, August and September; once a fortnight during
April, May, October and November, and once a month during
