The site of the Technical Institute naturally and properly fell
through, and the Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Tidy) reported against
that at the Mortuary because it was in too close proximity to adjacent
buildings, and would entirely block up the air space in rear of the
mortuary keeper's house.
The proposed site at French's Yard was also not attainable and
unsuitable, so that once more the Committee wrote to the Commissioners
of Baths and Washhouses about the Hornsey Road Site, and received a
reply which further deferred the settlement. Advertisements were also
inserted in the papers about the end of June, and three replies were
received, but the sites offered were not suitable.
Thus, it will be seen that great difficulties were experienced by the
Sanitary Committee in their endeavour to procure a site for a disinfecting
chamber.
Informal Notices to Abate Nuisances.
Owing to the fact that costs were allowed to the defendant in the
case of a nuisance existing at a house in Ashley Road, a reference
from the Yestry caused the Sanitary Committee to enquire into the
matter.
A report was, therefore, submitted by the Yestry Clerk, who stated
that the form of notice which had been served upon the defendant was
in accordance with a form that had been in use in the department for a
number of years, but he thought to prevent informality in future, all
notices prior to being served should receive the approval of the
Superintendent.
In consequence of this statement, the Committee passed a resolution
that in future all notices before being served by the Inspectors should
be initialled by the Superintendent (9th March).
