The owners were served with the necessary notices to put same into sanitary condition, which have subsequently been complied with. This property is inhabited by careless and destructive people whose surroundings arc made insanitary through their own filthy habits. 94 Gipsy Vans. February 19th, 1895. At this Meeting it was reported that having personally inspected the whole of the vans used for human habitation which are situated upon various plots of land in the parish, the Chief Inspector found that there were at this time eight plots used for the purpose. There were 68 vans, 46 of which were over-crowded, many of them seriously as the following instances will shew. The Bye-laws in force regulating these structures are made under the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1885, and require 150 cubic feet of free air space for an adult and 75 cubic feet for every child under 12 years.
e2eae169-d435-47f3-aa0f-381585b015f4
The Bye-laws also contain clauses which deal with the provision of closet and ashpit accommodation and water supply. The vans must also be watertight, properly ventilated and kept thoroughly cleansed. Several of the vans were found to be in a filthy condition, not watertight and without ventilation. It was also found necessary to call upon the proprietors of ground in three instances to provide increased water-closet accommodation. The total population dwelling in these 68 vans was 223 persons made up as follows:β€” 78 Male persons over 12 years of age 65 Female ,, β€ž ,, ,, ,, 31 Male β€ž under β€ž β€ž β€ž β€ž 49 Female ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, The Sanitary Committee directed notices to be served in all cases where there was a deficiency of over 50 cubic feet of free air space and also to provide water closet accommodation for each sex one for every twenty persons or proportion of twenty.

The effect of this action was to cause the proprietors of the vans which were the more seriously overcrowded to leave the parish and in other cases the vans were disposed of and rooms in houses 95 taken, one remarkable feature of the inspection was, that with the exception of one case of rheumatism no illness whatever was discovered. The water-closet accommodation was increased to the required standard in those cases where there was previously a deficiency. The following tabulates the results of the inspection of these vans.

At this Meeting the Chief Sanitary Inspector reported that having made an inspection of Overstrand Mansions, Blocks A. B. C. D. E. F. with respect to the soil pipe having several w.c.'s fitted one above the other into them were not provided with anti-syphon pipes as required by the Bye-laws of the London County Council under Sec. 39 (1) Public Health (London) Act, 1891. The owner's attention was directed to the matter and the necessary anti-syphon pipes provided without recourse to further measures. Bloomfields factory, Queens Road was also inspected and the water-closets found to be in a dirty and offensive condition, they were subsequently cleansed. At these works some 105 girls and women and five men and boys were employed, the workroom was found to be clean and well ventilated. He further reported that at Messrs. Smith & Stevens' Engineering Works in Queens Road, he found about 43 men employed. The two w.c.
99a66151-c8c8-43de-ad36-2d264be6bfb4
's were in a dirty condition in one care the pan was broken. These defective closets were subsequently abolished and pedestal w.c.'s together with urinal accommodation provided. April 27th. The Pure Water Company's Works in Queens Road were inspected and it was found that for the 50 male persons employed two w.c.'s and urinal were provided and also two w.c.'s for the females the pans of all the w.c.'s required cleansing which was subsequently carried out. The water for manufacturing purposes is derived from an artesian well some 500 feet deep. The workshops were found to be clean. At Messrs. Clark's Coffee Extract Works, Queens Road some seven men and boys are employed for which one w.c. was provided which required cleansing and this was carried out. The workrooms were in good and cleanly condition.

97 Proceedings were ordered by the Sanitary Committee to be taken against the builders of houses in various parts of the parish for failing to obtain the necessary certificate of proper and sufficient water supply under Section 48, Public Health (London) Act before allowing the premises to be occupied. The defendants were subsequently fined in each case. April 30th. At Truckell's Wharf, Nine Elms Lane the Chief Sanitary Inspector found the burning of business refuse carried on in a furnace with a shaft about 40 feet only in height and also in heaps in the yard of the premises in question. The burning caused considerable nuisance by the emission of offensive effluvia and the large quantities of dust. Notices were served and the nuisance abated.

He further reported at this meeting that the half-yearly inspection of Bake-houses had been made, and that 121 such premises were in occupation, that except in 41 instances the usual cleansing and limewhiting had been carried out, and that the premises were generally in very good sanitary condition. Notices were served where necessary, and the cleansing and limewhiting subsequently carried out. May 14th. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported making inspection of Thornes' Brewery, Nine Elms, and that the sanitary arrangements were sufficient for the number of work people, and except one or two slight defects, which were subsequently remedied, the same were satisfactory. Also that at these premises pigs were found to be kept within 33 yards of Ponton Street Board School and other premises in the vicinity.
9a49a4e4-7efb-481b-9527-a9e3c8cc0e5d
The pigs and styes were in a very cleanly condition, but as the keeping of swine were within the prohibitive distance of 40 yards notices were served by order of the Sanitary Committee and the keeping of pigs discontinued. 98 Also at Messrs. Swonnel's Works, Nine Elms, he found a want of proper sanitary convenience for the work people. Notice, by order of the Sanitary Committee, was served and the necessary accommodation provided. He also specially reported with reference to the urinal and w.c. accommodation at the Central and Branch Public Libraries by order of the Sanitary Committee, and subsequently the premises were inspected by a Sub-Committee, the Chief Inspector accompanying them, the result of which was that certain suggestions were made to the Library Commissioners for improving the accommodation. June 18th. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported that he had made an inspection of the Salvation Army Dep6t in Wellington Road, at which some 150 men work, live and sleep.

The larger dormitory is used by 100 men, and has a cubic air space of 32,327 cubic feet, or equal to 323 cubic feet per man. A further special dormitory is provided for some 32 men, who through good conduct and cleanliness are considered to deserve special accommodation. This has a cubic air space of 10,650 feet, or equal to 332 cubic feet per man. The dormitories and bedding were found in cleanly condition and the buildings very well ventilated. In addition to the above there are rooms used in the house adjoining the wharf by some 15 men which have a cubic air space of 400 feet per man. In connection with these premises paper sorting, wood chopping, tin plate work, &c. are carried on. The workshops were in good condition, but the urinal and w.c. accommodation unsatisfactory and insufficient. This was increased and improved, upon notice which was served by order of the Sanitary Committee.

It was stated that all men admitted to the premises are required to take a hot bath, during which time their clothing is subjected to a temperature of 1800 Fahrenheit in a gas stove; baths and washing troughs are provided with hot and 99 cold water and for drinking and culinary purposes the water is drawn directly from the rising main. It had been reported to me that about 25 per cent. of the men were suffering from scabies, this statement was not however proved on inspection as from enquiries of several persons who had been some time at the premises it was found that only three cases had occurred during two years and these in newly admitted persons, the disease was immediately detected and the persons removed to the union infirmary. I found the whole of the premises which also include a day room and kitchen in satisfactory condition. During the year one case of small pox occurred at these premises, the patient was promptly removed to hospital and the dormitories containing 42.987 cubic feet of air space, promptly disinfected.
3535b6f5-7ef2-4077-b2ab-473eaaf2a564
It might here be noted it is the practice of the Army Officers to disinfect the dormitories twice in each week with sulphur. He further reported that at Nos. 3 and 3a, Surrey Lane the staircases were in an exceedingly dangerous condition owing to the manner in which they had been constructed also that one w.c. only existed for the two houses. The Committee decided to draw the attention of the London County Council to the former defect and directed notice to be served to place the existing w.c. in good condition and also provide an additional one. July 2nd. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported he had tested the drains and inspected the sanitary conveniences of Winstanley Road Board School, and that with regard to the drains he had found the same to be in a seriously defective condition, and that it would be necessary to entirely re-construct the same. Also that in consequence of the walls of the w.c.
d6c8edb2-6ce5-4f9f-9c8a-846c2df704ac
's being used by the scholars as urinals, the same should be rendered with impervious material, and further that a large number of lavatory basins in various parts of the building admit the supply of water through the waste pipe and should therefore be re-placed by basins of improved form, as the water if drank by the scholars may prove 100 injurious to health. Plans have been received for the re-drainage of this School. In company with the Inspector of the London County Council he inspected the works of Messrs. Garton, Hill, & Co., York Road, in consequence of complaint having been made to the Council of offensive smell being noticeable from the premises in question believed to be caused by the revivification of the animal charcoal.
b3516268-d7cb-46d3-849d-a1d9acc5d4b7
They inspected the various processes and found that the charcoal is used as a filtering medium and afterwards is re-burnt in gas furnaces, through which pass 9 inch cast iron vertical tubes, having a 7 inch similar pipe within; the 2 inch annular space being filled with the charcoal which is to be re-burned and is subjected to a temperatnre of 1,400Β° Fahr. This method is a great improvement upon the practice previously adopted for the revivifying of charcoal, and no nuisance was discovered to exist. July 16th. It was reported that the sanitary arrangements of the Pulsometer Engineering Works were found upon inspection to be in a most insanitary condition, the w.c. being formed of a rough brick trough arrangement with boarded front badly corroded. A sluice was provided to keep the water back in the trough, the supply of which was by means of a 2 inch pipe.
5782232a-df5e-4d53-a8a6-dcca9331f324
By this arrangement the sides of the trough were never flushed, and were consequently very offensive. The Sanitary Committee directed notice to be served requiring proper and sufficient w.c. and urinal accommodation to be provided, which was subsequently carried out. Also upon inspecting the A.I. Biscuit Company's premises, the Chief Inspector found that the w.c. accommodation was inadequate for the number of male employes, and also that which did exist was in a dirty condition. The accommodation for the female employes was in good condition and adequate for the number employed. The Committee directed notice to 101 be served to increase the conveniences for men and to place the existing closets in good condition. Also at the premises of the London and Provincial Steam Laundry Company the Chief Inspector found some 176 females employed for whom only two w.c.s were provided for use during working hours. The men's w.c.
6b9a0811-2cd6-42b8-a678-65e2fcc27667
was clean but structurally defective The Committee directed that the necessary steps be taken for enforcing sufficient accommodation, the result being that several w.c.'s in other parts of the building, usually kept locked, were opened in order to comply with the Committee's requirements, making the total number fifteen, which was adequate. September 3rd. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported that at Carpenter Street a child died from neglect, the Coroner informing him, by his officer, that an inquest would be held, as the premises were stated to be in a dirty state. He visited the premises and found that the family consisted of two adults and six children occupying one room, having a cubic air space of 1,140 cubic feet, or a deficiency in air space of 860 cubic feet. The necessary steps were taken for abating the serious overcrowding, and proceedings were subsequently taken by the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the parents sent to prison for general neglect of the child that died.

The house generally was found to be seriously overcrowded and dirty, but upon notices being served on the owner and occupiers the nuisances were abated. On several occasions during the year considerable nuisance has arisen, owing to emission of dense black smoke from Messrs. Spiers and Pond's steam laundry shaft in Battersea Park Road. Difficulty however was experienced in proceeding against Messrs. Spiers and Pond in consequence of their having provided apparatus which was capable (if properly used by the 102 person in charge of the furnace) of preventing the emission of black smoke. Representations have been made to Messrs. Spiers and Pond relative to the matter and the stokers also cautioned. The manager was requested by the Medical Officer of Health to use more suitable coal. September 17th. The Chief Sanitary Inspector having made inspection of Messrs. Whiffen's works in the Lombard Road in respect of which complaints have been made of the emission of offensive effluvia.
a06c977a-de60-4a92-be9f-67d99fe8cb86
The business carried on is in the manufacture of Vegetable Alkaloids from Tea, Willow Bark, Nux Vomica Bean, &c. He found the offensive effluvia to arise from a depositing or precipitating pit of 14 cubic yards capacity which is provided for the purpose of preventing solid matter from the waste products of manufacture entering the sewer, and he suggested that the pit in question should be reduced to one-half its size in order to render it necessary for a more frequent removal of the refuse deposited therein, and that permission be given to the Vestry to carry up ventilating shaft from the sewer. These suggestions were subsequently carried out. September 17th. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported that the sanitary conveniences at Messrs. Whiffen's works had also been examined and found to be adequate in number for the persons engaged on the premises and to be in good condition.
d26a5f12-739a-4452-ae98-aa177fa7b81d
Also at the laundries situated at 30 and 34, Gideon Road, the sanitary conveniences were found to give insufficient accommodation, also that the ironing rooms were in an overcrowded condition. These matters were subsequently rectified after notice from the Sanitary Committee. October 15th. TheChief Inspector reported he had seized on the 4th October three-quarters of cwt. of haddocks and two boxes of kippers 103 exposed for sale upon a barrow in York Road, the same being unfit for human food, and was afterwards destroyed by order of the Magistrate. Difficulty was experienced in tracing the owner of the fish. Proceedings were subsequently instituted against two persons who were convicted and fined. November, 5th, 1895.
58d4e5e6-f6d4-41b8-8ce7-323381697518
The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported that he had attended the Licensing Meeting of the Public Health and Housing Committee of the London County Council with reference to the Licensing of Cowhouses and Slaughterhouses and that with one exception the whole of the Licenses were renewed upon the same conditions, the exception was with reference to a slaughterhouse situated at 82, Usk Road at which sometime previously a diseased calf was seized and fat boiling found to be carried on. The Licensing Committee at their adjourned meeting renewed the License on condition that the Licensee only slaughtered pigs which were his own property. In consequence of a case of Typhoid Fever occurring to a pupil of Vicarage School, Lavender Gardens, but residing in Wandsworth, he tested the drains and examined the whole of the sanitary arrangements and water supply of the School, when the same were found to be in good condition and did not appear to have caused the case of Typhoid mentioned above and no other case occurred.
bab93257-99e6-4e00-9b97-f04af2659533
He also reported that the September inspection of bakehouses had been carried out and with but eight exceptions the cleansing and limewhiting had been attended to. The Sanitary Committee gave instructions for notices to be served in these cases and the same were subsequently complied with. November 19th. The laundry situated at 32, Latchmere Road had been inspected, the Chief Sanitary Inspector found that there was ample cubic air space for the persons employed but that the whole 101 of the drainage and sanitary arrangements was in a defective condition, that the wash house was dilapidated and the ironing room without any ventilation. Notice was served by order of the Committee and these matters attended to. December 3rd. The Chief Sanitary Inspector reported having inspected the w.c.'s and urinals of Battersea Park Road Board Schools,from which offensive smells were alleged by residents in Warriner Gardens to arise. He found that the walls of the w.c.
9449c729-4933-4981-a10a-ab36e68a0c8c
's bore evidence of being used by the boys as a urinal, also that the latter were not provided with sparge pipes for the purpose of flushing and advised that the London School Board's attention be drawn to the necessity of providing the latter, and imperviously rendering the walls of the w.c.'s also to slope the entrance to urinals to properly trapped gulley instead of into playground. The School Board for London in reply stated their inability to provide sparge pipes and asked the Sanitary Committee to waive their requirements. This however, the Committee have not done, being of opinion that where urinals are used by a large number of persons, the walls should be flushed by means of sparge pipes similar to those the London School Board have provided to other of their Schools in the parish. It was also reported that Inspector Odell seized late at night on the 22nd November, about 250 bananas exposed for sale upon a stall in St.
843e4bc1-0d07-4630-83d0-16530d78afbb
John Road, which were in his opinion unfit for human consumption and that the same were condemned by the Magistrate at the South Western Police Court. Proceedings were subsequently taken against the owner who was fined. December 31st. The Chief Inspector reported that he had seized on Saturday Night the 21st December, about 10.30 o'clock, 1Β½ cwt of cob nuts which were exposed for sale upon a barrow in Falcon Road and in the sale of which the vendor was doing a brisk trade at 2d. per pint, that the nuts were subsequently 105 demned and destroyed by order of the Magistrate. The owner of the nuts gave his address as 22, Gun Street Dwellings, Southwark; when the officer proceeded to serve the summons it was found that he had removed and his whereabouts could not be discovered. In consequence of an unusually large number of cases of Scarlet Fever occurring at St.
95d73138-1f5f-4f51-9073-f544d65138f9
George's Schools, the same were thoroughly disinfected during the Christmas Holidays by the Vestry's staff of disinfectors. WATER ANALYSIS. Quarterly samples of water were taken regularly during the year at the periods ordered by the Sanitary Committee, and submitted to the Public Analyst for examination. These particulars of the more important special inspections, apart from house-to-house inspection, inspection on complaint or notification of infectious disease, tend to shew that the Vestry possess competent officers, and I beg to record my sense of the able manner in which the Chief and District Sanitary Inspectors together with the rest of the staff, have performed their duties during the year under report. In conclusion, I beg to thank my colleagues, more especially the Vestry Clerk (Mr. Wilkins) and the Surveyor (Mr. Pilditch) for the great assistance at all times willingly rendered, which I have received from them during the year, as well as during many previous years.

I have to express my sincere gratitude to the Members of the Sanitary Committee and the Members of the Vestry generally, who have by the support they have given to me at all times, enabled me to perform the duties of my office; without which support it would be impossible for a Medical Officer of Health to efficiently and successfully carry out the important functions with which he is entrusted.

Gentlemen, The Census taken on March 29th, 1896, shewed that the increase of population in the preceding five years had not quite kept pace with that which prevailed during the last few intercensal periods; in fact, since 1871-81 the rate of increase has uniformly decreased, the probable reason of which is that nearly all the available building land in the parish has been covered. The following are the particulars of the last three census enumerations, the number of inhabited houses, of persons, and of inhabitants per house being given for the several wards into which the parish is at present divided. Census 1881. Census 1891. Census 1896. Inhabited Houses. Population. No. of Inhabitants per House. Inhabited Houses. Population. No. of Inhabitants per House. Inhabited Houses.

It may be safely assumed that most of the empty houses have since been occupied, as well as the houses which were then building, with the exception of some of the flats recently erected, there being a demand for houses in Battersea at present exceeding that of any previous period. The persons were eighty thousand eight hundred and twentytwo males; eighty-four thousand two hundred and ninety-three females, and a total population of one hundred and sixty-five thousand one hundred and fifteen. As the census of eighteen hundred and ninety-one shewed a population of one hundred and fifty thousand, four hundred and fifty eight, it follows that the increase was fourteen thousand, six hundred and fifty seven, or an average increase of two thousand, nine hundred and thirty-one per annum.

It will be necessary, in order to calculate the birth, death and other rates to arrive at the mean or average population of the year 1896, which is obtained by adding a proportionate number, one fourth of the year.s increase of population, so as to shew the population estimated to exist on the middle day of the year, which is one hundred and sixty-five thousand, eight hundred and forty-seven. It will be observed that this is less than the estimated mean population for 1895, the difference in rates however being only a decimal fraction of 1.0 per thousand. The mean population of the Metropolis for the year 1896, as deducted from the census of that year, was 4,421,955. The births registered in London in the year were 135,796, which calculated upon the mean population given above is equal to 30.7 per thousand.
ae56c412-0639-4f6f-9890-979c853f74ea
The births in Battersea registered during the year were 5,358 in number, which, in a mean population of 165,847, will shew a birth rate of 32.3 per thousand for the year. 6 The deaths registered in London during 1896 numbered eigthy-three thousand five hundred and eleven, with a consequent death rate of 18.6 per thousand. The number of deaths registered in Battersea during the year was two thousand nine hundred and forty-one, equal to a death-rate of 17.7 per thousand ; but if this be corrected by deleting the deaths of two hundred and sixty-six non-parishioners, and adding the deaths of three hundred and nineteen Battersea residents in outlying institutions of the Metropolis, the total deaths would be raised to two thousand nine hundred and ninety-four, giving on the mean population for 1896 a corrected death-rate of 18.0 per thousand.

Table A. This table is compiled in all sanitary districts under the express direction of the Local Government Board, for the purpose of securing uniformity of tabulation in all parts of the country, of the important particulars contained therein. It is at the same time expressly stated that the Medical Officer of Health of any district is at liberty, in addition, to continue to use any other form of tabulation which, in his opinion, illustrates more fully the sanitary condition of the district for which he acts. For purposes of comparison with the vital statistics of the past forty 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.

For instance, five hundred and nine out of a total of one thousand four hundred and thirty-two deaths under five years were from Zymotic diseases, a proportion which ought to be largely diminished. This, however, shews a great diminution compared with former years. Particulars of the other ages at death are also given in this table.

and III., give in tabular form the weekly returns of the District Registrars of Births and Deaths for East and West Battersea respectively, and include the deaths of all persons within the parish and in public institutions, whether parishioners or not. They shew the incidence of births and deaths at the various periods of the year, being grouped in quarters for that purpose, with additional particulars as to causes of death to be found in Table IV. It is shown by these tables that the births and deaths exhibited an unusual uniformity during the several quarters of the year, the result doubtless of the mild winter and spring, during which seasons the mortality is frequently considerably in excess of that of the others. 12 TABLE II.

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. 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 charge of the sanitation, which includes the health condition and duration of lives of the inhabitants has performed its public duties in an exemplary manner. Tables VI., VII., VIII., and IX., with addendum, contain particulars of the mortality respectively of East Battersea, West Battersea, and in the Union Infirmary, giving separately parishioners and non-parishioners, and in the addendum of the other public institutions situated within the parish. These tables have been used from 1856, and are continued for purposes of comparison with former years as well as being the basis upon which all the other mortality tables are founded. 19 TABLE VI.
