Many of these houses were in a most crowded and dirty condition.
Water Supply in a very defective state, the people had but few opportunities
of keeping their rooms or persons clean, owing to the want of
water, frequently they were compelled to store their daily supply in pans
or pails in their rooms to the injury of their health.
In every case where possible a constant supply of water has been
obtained with "water waste preventors," and the water companies have
expressed their wish to assist as far as possible for the more general
supply of water on the constant service in courts and small properties.
The number of Sanitary Works executed since the establishment of
the Vestry are as follows :
3620 Cesspools have been abolished.
5484 proper Water Closets have been erected, and all properly
drained to the Sewers.
3611 House Drains Lave been cleansed and repaired.
4661 Dust-bins have been provided.
Bedding removed and destroyed by order of the Medical Officer from
