Subsequently, the Company, when requested by the Local
Government Board, resolved to introduce the constant supply
throughout the Parish, and are now taking measures to do so.
This change must cause Owners considerable expense,
yet when it is considered how indispensable it is for health
that the inhabitants should have unpolluted water, I can have
no doubt that the change will be very beneficial, and in a
little while Owners of dwellings will be thankful that the
old, dirty receptacles are discarded, at least for drinking
purposes.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES are now under the regulations of the
Metropolitan Board, and supervised by the Board's Inspector.
Should any of these premises, however, cause a nuisance
injurious to health, the Vestry can, under the "Nuisance
Removal Act," direct its abatement.
During the past year no complaint has been made against
such premises.
COW-HOUSES.—Inspector Fletcher reports to me that there are
40 cow-houses in the parish, and 460 cows in these premises.
No new licenses granted in the year.
The cow-houses are now under regulations made by
the Vestry, and the premises are better ventilated, paved, and
much less overcrowded.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
H. G. SUTTON.
