MATTERS CONSIDERED BY THE SANITARY
COMMITTEE.
Disinfecting Chamber.
The subject, of a suitable site for a disinfecting chamber was considered
by the Sanitary Committee, and on January 16th it passed the
following resolution:—
"That having carefully considered various sites, more or less
"suitable for the purpose of erecting a disinfecting chamber, the
"Committee is of opinion that a portion of the site in the Hornsey
"Road, for which the Baths and Washhouses Commissioners are
"in negotiation, is the most suitable, and instruct the Vestry
"Clerk to write to the Baths' and Washhouses' Commissioners
"as to which portion of the land can be obtained and at what
"price the same can bo purchased."
Subsequently the Sanitary Committee received a letter from the
Commissioners in which the latter body enquired the amount of land
that would be required, whereupon the former body passed another
resolution to the following effect:—
"That the Committee acquire a piece of land about 3,000
"superficial feet for the purpose of erecting the chamber, and that
"the Superintendent write to the Commissioners of Baths and
"Washhouses in reply to the letter under notice. And also enquire
"whether a portion of either the undermentioned sites may be
"obtained for the purpose of erecting the proposed Disinfecting
"Chamber, viz.:—Technical Institute in Holloway Road and
"French's Yard in Liverpool Road."
It was also resolved:—
"That the piece of land in rear of the mortuary keeper's
"house be measured up as to whether it is large enough for the
"same purpose."
A reply was subsequently received from the Commissioners to the
effect that as they did not quite know their own requirements they
could not give the Committee a definite answer.
