85fbbc0b-ee04-4cd8-8d3a-cd63e160b3e6 | 82 sanitary operations During the year 1893 the Sanitary Department has been re-organised and the staff increased. The staff now consists of one Chief Sanitary Inspector, six District Sanitary Inspectors, each having charge of one of the six districts into which the parish has been divided for that purpose. The work done has increased in proportion as during the year the total Sanitary operations carried out by the department will be found by reference to Table XV. to have reached the large number of 54,577, the total for 1892 having been 38,779, These numbers include letters, telegrams and returns and notices to Metropolitan Asylums Board, Public Schools and Libraries and other public bodies. The number of House Inspections was 25,091, which would seem to imply that every house in the parish, estimated to be 21,400 in number, had been inspected, but, unfortunately, many houses were in such an unsanitary state as to require several visits. |
76a47508-daef-43ba-8acf-d5a5a3328483 | Drains were tested by smoke in 1,491 instances and by water in 491, the total number of drains tested being 1,982, a much larger number than during any previous year. The necessity for such testing is evinced by the fact that more than 70 per cent, of the old drains tested by smoke were found defective. Efforts will be made in future to inspect every house during each year. As the result of these inspections it was found necessary to serve 4,420 notices under Section 3 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, and subsequently by order of the Sanitary Committee as the Sanitary Authority, all powers under the various acts regulating the Sanitation of the Metropolis having been expressly delegated to them by the Vestry ; 1,211 notices under Section 4 were served. |
f5275930-9788-4834-9270-e1c24394bba4 | In addition 2,572 notices were served under Sections 62 and 65, and 120 under the Metropolis 83 Locai Management Act; being a total of 8,323 notices served by the department. The number of houses disinfected after infectious disease was 2,069,and 5,275 supplies of disinfectants were given free of charge to persons in whose abodes infectious disease existed. Certificates of disinfection after infectious disease were granted in 1,659 instances to the schools attended by children residing in the houses in which disease occurred or to parents where required to enable work to be resumed. The total number of complaints received and attended to during 1893 was 4,089. A register for such complaints for each sanitary district is kept and submitted to the authority at each meeting. Proceedings under the various Sanitary Acts. During the year legal proceedings were ordered in forty-nine cases involving sanitation and Public Health and twenty-four for offences under the Food and Drugs Acts, together seventy-three. |
4a0acc42-4f4b-4006-868e-b4ff3cb61781 | Magisterial orders were obtained and enforced or the orders of the authority complied with in seventy instances, the majority being to remedy sanitary defects in dwellings or for breaches of the Adulteration Acts. Some of the cases were of a different nature and are detailed below. Exposure while suffering from infectious disease. On the Nov. 3rd the Chief Sanitary Inspector detected J. W. C., an assistant at a fried fish shop, who had been notified a few days before as suffering from scarlet fever, serving persons in the shop. After the man denying his name and with considerable difficulty the Chief Inspector definitely established his identity. He informed me of the facts and I accompanied him to the house where I found the man desquamating profusely after scarlet fever and at once arranged for his removal to hospital as he was in the most infectious stage of the disease. Proceedings were 84 instituted against the tnan on his recdvery and he was fined £3 and costs. |
a958f736-360f-4f67-ad42-67e1f5f210a1 | TheChief Sanitary Inspector called my attention tothe condition of a calf which had been slaughtered at a licensed slaughterhouse in Usk Road together with four others. The latter were fit for food, but the flesh of the calf in question was inflamed and flabby and the animal had evidently been affected by wasting inflammatory disease and was consequently unfit for human food. The carcase was seized by the Chief Inspector and conveyed to the Police Court, the magistrate condemned the meat and ordered it to be destroyed. The name and address of the owner of the calf were given by the slaughterhouse keeper and he was summoned for sending a diseased animal to a licensed slaughterhouse, the law directing that animals unfit for human consumption shall be sent to a knackers. He was convicted and fined £1 and 23s. costs, the magistrate not being convinced that he had knowledge of the condition of the calf in question, but finding that it was not necessary to prove such knowledge as the offence is complete without it. |
ab42ec41-b1d4-4f17-9841-83ba77ec6551 | On Sunday, June 8th, the Chief Inspector seized in the Battersea Park Road from a butcher's premises meat exposed for sale and another quantity deposited for sale. The meat in question was condemned by the magistrate and destroyed and the butcher subsequently fined £10 for exposing for sale and £5 for depositing for sale, with 5/- costs. On the same day the Chief Inspector seized under similar circumstances meat at a shop in Falcon Road, which was subsequently condemned and destroyed. The butcher here was also fined £10, £5, and 5/- costs. The Chief Inspector found that gut scraping was carried on in unlicensed premises at I, Weston Diseased Meat. Gut Scraping. 85 Street. The London County Council were informed of this and proceedings taken by them, and the person carrying on the business without a license, under section 19 of the Public Health Act, was fined £2 and costs. |
4b434dd8-8097-4a6d-b431-326d74d8bb3b | The penalty in this case was paid into the Vestry's account, as provided in section 119 of that Act, under which all fines recovered under the Act are payable to them, whether they or any other body prosecutes. At 87, Church Road a similar business was carried on, and owing to numerous complaints as to nuisances by neighbouring inhabitants the Chief Inspector found the premises upon inspection to be in a very offensive condition. The London County Council were also informed of the circumstances, but no prosecution was instituted as the occupier was a foreigner, totally ignorant of the law on the subject. The nuisance was, however, suppressed. The Belleville Road Board School was inspected, the drains tested and the sanitary arrangements carefully examined, with the result that they were found defective, and the drains, water closets, &-c., were entirely reconstructed, the latter being moved to more suitable positions. |
b0900922-5129-4f92-a36c-fd7ada8d346e | The Tennyson Road Board School was also examined in a similar manner, with the result that the Sanitary arrangements were found to be defective and dangerous. Plans were approved by the Sanitary Committee for the entire reconstruction of the drains, and the sanitary offices will be moved to more suitable positions. The Raywood Street Board School was found to have its Sanitary arrangements in a defective condition, and notices to make good such defects were served on the School Board for London. The same condition of things was found to exist at the Holden Street Board School, and a similar course adopted. At the Christ Church Schools the entire Sanitary arrangements were found to be defective, and were entirely reconstructed. Sanitary Condition of Schools. 86 At the St. James' Industrial School the drains were found to be very defective, and were entirely reconstructed. At the Vicarage School the Sanitary arrangements were found to be good. |
83181ed4-9ca4-4d54-97a9-9a9abe08023a | At the Masonic Girls' School the drains at the Junior School were found to be seriously defective, they were reconstructed and kept outside the buildings altogether. The whole of the urinals at the various publichouses in ths parish were inspected by the Chief Inspector, who reported thereon to the Sanitary Committee. Very numerous defects were discovered and orders were made for them to be remedied and put in a proper sanitary condition. At some of the workshops in the Parish inspection has been made of the sanitary accommodation provided for the workpeople engaged therein. At the Iron Foundry in the Culvert Road it was found that there was a want of sufficient conveniences required by See. 38 of the Public Health Act. The necessary works were carried out upon requisition by the department. At a Builder's Works in the Queen's Road, defective accommodation and insanitary conditions were found to exist. These were at once put in proper condition and suitable provision made. |
b2ca1b0d-3608-4a7c-bdd1-2e66ef4ca141 | The Theatres and Music Halls, were at the request of the London County Council inspected with reference to the sufficiency and condition of their sanitary offices. The following were specially inspected, Munt's Hall, the Washington Music Hall, Park Town Theatre, Lammas Hall and Stanley Hall. Notices were served to remedy sanitary defects in cases where such existed and all cases were complied with. Statements were made to the Vestry to the effect that the houses in Barmore Street were in a generally insanitary condition, but inspection did not bear out the assertions made, as Urinals, &c. 87 the houses had been regularly inspected and about one-third of the drains recently reconstructed. Ths total defects discovered were but trifling and were remedied upon orders being made. Some of the occupiers had notices served to prevent the basement being used as sleeping rooms contrary to Section 96 of the Public Health Act. Water Quarterly samples were taken for analysis from Analysis. |
0549c027-b63f-4862-8045-7c9ed7887619 | the Southwark and Vauxhall and the Lambeth Companies. The water has been in a much better condition than at the early part of the year when it was inefficiently filtered and dirty. In these respects a great improvement is the result of more efficient filtration and better condition of water generally, owing to the provision of improved appliances. Samples of well water used for domestic purposes were taken from 94, Winstanley Road and 3, Newcomen Road, and upon analysis the water in both cases was found to be unfit for domestic use. The wells were consequently closed and a supply laid on from the Water Company. Unfit food. The following were submitted by the vendors during the year and were all condemned as unfit for human food and destroyed at the Destructor. The persons bringing the unsound articles were given certificates to enable them to get back the money paid to salesmen. 10 bushels of plums. 1 box cod's roe—about 1 cwt. |
7476daab-6cf6-4f31-9938-f77ee3e1f5a6 | 1 basket crabs—about 120. 1 box fresh herrings. 80 lbs. cod fish. 70 lbs. of hake. 1 trunk of fresh haddocks—about 1 cwt. 1 barrel conger eels—about 2 cwt. 15 boxes kippers—about 600. 3 bushels chestnuts. 88 Pig keeping. Swine were found to be kept at 15, Weston Street, at Byram House, Clapham Common, and at the Farm, Wandsworth Common. As these were all within forty yards of a public place the usual proceedings were ordered to be taken and the keeping of pigs ceased. i Slaughter The usual inspection of these premises was made cowhouses, by a Sub-Committee. The renewal of the license to a cowhouse to a dairy in Hope Street was objected to on the grounds of defective paving and improper receptacles for food, together with the housing of a number of young cattle in unlicensed sheds. |
817b3eef-d411-45e9-83a8-997d6de5b8db | The renewal of the license was opposed at the meeting of the Public Health Committee of the London County Council, when the license was only renewed on the understanding that the Vestry's requirements were carried out, which has since been done. A bakehouse is defined in the Act of 1891 as " any place in which are baked bread, biscuits or confectionery, from the baking and selling of which a profit is derived. 1 here are in the Parish one hundred and nine premises conforming to this description. They were formerly inspected by the factory inspectors, and as bakehouses in the Metropolis were many and the inspectors but few, the majority were found to be, when the duty of inspection was transferred to the Local Sanitary Authority, to be in a most insanitary condition; defective drains, closets opening into and ventilated by the bakehouse, and a general condition of dirt and neglect of the most ordinary sanitary precautions prevailing. |
e2b7bb7c-a417-4017-8392-7b3a8cb6061e | Since the transfer of inspection to the Local Authority, every bakehouse in the parish has been inspected half-yearly and the results entered in the register and submitted to the Sanitary Committee. In the few cases in which defects are found to exist re-inspection takes place until defects are remedied. Rakehouses. 89 It would be conducive to the proper regulation of bakehouses if they were licensed by a central authority in the same way as cow and slaughterhouses ; the duty of inspection, however, to remain as at present with the Local Authority. Complaints were made of noise and dust together with smoke from the Atmospheric Grain Elevator C)., in the Anhalt Road. The allegation was found to be substantially correct. All the defects were subsequently remedied except the noise which does not come within the province of the department. In addition to ordinary disinfection after infectious disease, a cab was disinfected after the conveyance of an infected person to hospital, free of charge at the Vestry's premises at the destructor. |
73504eaf-069e-4860-860f-e442af5b60b4 | In the event of the boiler being put in use, a suitable apparatus for disinfecting bedding, clothes, &c. by steam and hot air might be worked very inexpensively. The main sewer running from west to east along the York Road and Battersea Park Road has during the last few years been ventilated by up-cast shafts, to the great advantage of the residents in the locality drained by the sewers. The line of sewer running south to north, from Nightingale Lane by Northcote Road, Falcon Road and High Street, in my opinion requires better ventilation, more especially in the higher levels. A very large proportion of complaints as to effluvium nuisances from sewer gas come from these localities. The Surveyor is about to erect some ventilators in Bolingbroke Grove, which will relieve the pressure of gases in the sewers and house drains. The whole line of sewer from south to north requires similar treatment. Grain Elevator. Disinfection. |

The increased staff have, as the table of Sanitary operations shews been able to get through a much larger amount of work than during any previous year. The removal to the new offices has, by giving increased space, enabled me to exercise a much closer supervision than formerly. I have to express my satisfaction with the great zeal and energy shown by the Chief Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Isaac Young, during the year under report. The district Sanitary Inspectors have got through their numerous and sometimes disagreeable duties with great efficiency and with creditable regard for the feelings of those amongst whom it is their duty to act. The increased amount and greater variety of duties cast upon the Medical Officer of Health by the legislation of the last few years renders it necessary for him to be able to rely upon the skilled and trained assistance of his colleagues. The great experience of the Vestry Clerk, Mr. |
51ddc2cc-9020-4393-81a1-27cdc6a76e98 | Wilkins, has always been placed freely at my disposal, for which I beg to record my sincere thanks. I may pay similar tribute to my other colleagues, Mr. J. T. Pilditch, the Surveyor; Mr. C. E. Cassal, the Public Analyst; Mr. W. W. Young, the Solicitor, and indeed the whole staff of the Vestry. The Sanitary Committee and the Vestry generally have been good enough to accord me the same support with which I have been honoured for many years ; without which support no officer responsible for the health and lives of the inhabitants of so large and important a Parish as Battersea, could hope to be able to efficiently carry out the duties which devolve upon him.

To the Vestry of the parish of St. Mary, Battersea. |
ad9a7069-481d-42a7-94c1-92d085639681 | Gentlemen, The first step to be taken in calculating the birth, death, or other rates during the year 1894, is to carefully estimate the mean or average population for that year. The mean population of the year 1893, for this parish, was 160,175. To this must be added the annual increase of population which has hitherto been found to exist, and for this purpose the known rate of increase between the two last census enumerations is employed. This increase was at the average rate of 4,319 persons each year, so that if this number be added to the population for 1893, an estimated mean population of 164,494 will be deduced for 1894. On this population the following calculations are based. As a preliminary it will be desirable to mention a few facts relating to the Metropolis at large during 1894, as a basis of comparison. |
57406b31-552a-4b2e-ae49-0bb610001af8 | The estimated mean population of the Metropolis, arrived at in a similar manner to that described above, as employed for this parish, was 4,349,166 for the year 1894. The births registered in London during 1894, as given by the Registrar General in his weekly returns, numbered 130,553, and calculated on the estimated mean population the birth rate would be equal to 30•1 per thousand per annum. The total number of deaths recorded in all London during 1894, was 77'039, which, calculated upon the same population, 4 would give 17•8 per thousand per annum as the death rate for the Metropolis during 1894, being the lowest recorded. The following pages will show that the birth rate for Battersea during 1894, was 30•5 Per thousand, against 30•1 per thousand for London. |
42f8462b-6191-46d0-b14d-67f0e581b867 | The Battersea death rate was 14•6 per thousand, including all persons dying in the parish, whether belonging thereto or not, the death rate for London was therefore 3•2 per thousand higher than that of Battersea. Subsequent corrections, by eliminating non-parishioners dying in the parish and adding parishioners dying elsewhere, will reduce this difference to 2•2 per thousand in favour of Battersea. The two thousand four hundred and four persons, including non-parishioners, who died in the parish during 1894, would give a gross death rate of 14•6 per thousand per annum. |

1ba34399-e4bc-4b04-adad-f6c591161c73 | This may be contrasted with the Metropolitan death rate of 17•8 per thousand, during the year 1894, the deaths which took place within the boundaries of the parish, including all non-parishioners dying in the Union firmary and elsewhere, are shewn in Table A. of mortality, and may be thus summarised.

For purposes of comparison with the vital statistics of the past thirty nine years, since the year 1856, other tables which have been employed in this parish are also given herewith, and will be found denoted by numbers, those of the Local Government Board being denoted by the letters A. and B. In Table A. will be found particulars of mortality in the various Registrar's districts and public institutions which are also treated as separate districts. They comprise the Registrar's districts of East and West Battersea, and the following public institutions, situated within the parish, viz.:—Wandsworth and Clapham Union Infirmary, Bolingbroke Hospital, Westminster Union Schools, Emmanuel School, and Masonic School for Girls. |
eab1b9b7-d40d-45d8-9e2f-73e2e74a3c47 | The broad grouping of ages is under and above five years of age, so as to clearly define the mortality of each of these periods of life, more especially the infantile ages under five, as the greatest waste of life has occurred in the past at the early years, and although great improvement has taken place in this respect during the last few years, still much remains to be done in this direction. For instance, 351 Zymotic deaths, out of a total of 1,129 occurred under five years, a proportion which ought to be largely diminished. Particulars of the other ages at death are also given in this table. Table I. This table contains details of the deaths of Battersea parishioners in public institutions both within and without the parish. |

0877bea6-81ca-4b2d-827d-c02f648ee8fb | This parish at that time consisted of a congeries of small villages, between which extended market gardens; the inhabitants and dependents of some few dozens of large houses, the residences chiefly of merchants, with the workers at the market gardens, constituting the principal population. It will be observed that the population was then but 15,069, and at the census of 1861, had but reached the number of 19,582. The birth rate was then a little higher than now. The death rate, however, although the population was very sparse, was much higher than at present. It has been laid down as an axiom that mortality increases in direct proportion to the density of population, and it is the aim of modern sanitation to limit or prevent such increase. |
552b7e12-08ee-4ffd-81df-8d255cc31f61 | That the same parish, of course with the same superficial area, should, with a ten-fold population have a reduced instead of an augmented death rate, shews that the authority having chargc of the sanitation, which includes the health condition and duration of lives of the 15 inhabitants, has amply justified its existence, if results are the test by which it should be judged.
