That on the 27th September, he again, in company with the District Inspector, kept observation from 8.15 until 11 o'clock at night, during which time no nuisance was discovered. Numerous buildings in the vicinity of the works had been coated with a substance resembling Prussian blue, and which was believed to arise from the manufacture of Cyanide of Potasium at the works in question. Since the date of this report the premises have been under constant observation, and further reports have been submitted to the Health Committee on the matter, which tend to shew that certain alterations have been made with a view to minimising the nuisance. October 19th.—At this meeting he reported with reference to certain drainage work which had been carried out by the owner of No. |
47c7382b-81f4-4d04-80f4-ba1926538596 | 1, Broomwood Road, contrary to the regulations of the Vestry, and as specified in a notice served upon him on the 17th August, that the requirements had been disregarded and a portion of the drain repaired, when as a matter of fact it was necessary to relay the entire drain. The Committee gave directions, that subject to the opinion of the Solicitor, proceedings should be taken to enforce compliance with the Vestry's requirements, and eventually the case came before the Magistrates at the South Western Police Court, and an order was made that the works should be carried out. November 2nd.—At this meeting he reported as to having attended the Annual Meeting of the Public Health Committee 113 of the London County Council with reference to the licensing of slaughter-houses and cow-houses, that there were before such Committee eight applications' for the renewal of cowhouse licenses, and ten for slaughter-houses, all of which were renewed, except as to 82, Usk Road. |
5a729e07-90a9-4683-bbcb-6cae8dd2078e | The license for this slaughter-house was objected to by the Council's officer on the ground that a condition attached to the license had been disregarded, in that cattle had been slaughtered, when the license was granted only for the slaughtering of pigs. The fact was also submitted to the Licensing Committee, that when a Sub-Committee of the Health Committee of the Vestry visited the premises, the Bye-Laws of the London County Council relative to the conduct of the business of a slaughterer of cattle were being contravened, and also that a very large number of pigs were slaughtered on the premises in question. The Committee of the Council thereupon decided not to renew the license. 351 York Road. |
6b32baf8-0c22-4da4-b7bb-f9816b547270 | In this case objection was made to the renewal of the license by the Council's officer on the ground that portions of the premises not controlled by the license had been used for the purpose of the business of a slaughterer of cattle, and the Committee also took into consideration the question the Health Committee had raised, that in their opinion not more than 40 pigs were to be slaughtered in one day. The Licensing Committee renewed the license upon the condition that not more than 40 pigs should be slaughtered in one day, and that only the licensed portions of the premises were to be used for the conduct of the business in future. |
abce9518-c176-4f67-a4e8-afa7de50f3b4 | He also submitted report with reference to a complaint of offensive smells which were alleged to emanate from the ventilating shaft in connection with the drainage of a paper mill, that although the drains had been tested, no defect, had been discovered therein, and that it would appear to arise from the misuse of the sanitary conveniences by the workpeople employed, in that h 114 portions of the premises were used as urinals which were not intended or adapted for the purpose when the water-closets were laid down some time previously by an order of the Health Committee. That the number of men and boys employed on the date of inspection was sixty-seven, for these, four water-closets were provided, with flapseats and they were in good working order. The Committee directed that the walls should be suitably protected with impervious material and water supply laid on, in order that the portion of the premises then used as a urinal might be made suitable for the purpose, and the works were subsequently carried out. |
528fef7d-0368-4c33-a4ca-b9224009a67c | Also with reference to an offensive business which was carried on at certain premises in High Street, that the shop was used for frying fish, but the nuisance complained of was found to arise from the scraping and drying of skate skins, which is effected by allowing the skins to become somewhat putrid in order that the particles of flesh adhering thereto may be more easily removed. The skins are then stretched on boards and exposed in the open air. The business in some respects may be said to resemble gut scraping, and is equally offensive. That the matter had come under notice in July and that upon preliminary notice being served, the business was discontined for a time. It had however recommenced, and statutory notice had been served. The Committee now directed that the necessary proceedings should be taken for enforcing same if in the opinion of the Solicitor, such a course was practicable. The matter was placed in the hands of the Solicitor and the nuisance subsequently discontinued without recourse to summary proceedings. |
c6ab70d1-f45a-4086-af95-3b4ac44b558a | November 16th.—He also submitted report relative to the sanitary convenience provided for the use of the workmen at No. 385 Battersea Park Road, that it was without light or ventilation, and further that no urinal accommodation was provided. That 115 some fifteen men were employed upon the works, and suggested that certain alterations should be made. The Committee gave directions for notice to be served, which was subsequently complied with. Similar remarks also apply to No. 351 Battersea Park Road, except that here the sanitary conveniences for the workmen were in good condition, but the urinal had no proper and sufficient water supply. Also with reference to premises in Chatham Road, at which some ten persons were employed, that the water closet accommodation provided there was found to be in offensive condition, and in other respects was not satisfactory. The Committee gave directions that water closet and urinal in addition should be provided, and the necessary notice was served and subsequently complied with. |
794b94cb-8d93-4cea-9537-7ee433e761c0 | Similar remarks apply to the Castle Ironworks at which some five persons were employed. The necessary notices were served and the works carried out. November 30th.—He also submitted report with reference to complaints which had been made relative to the Dust, &c., given off from the furnace shaft of the Salvation Army Depot, Wellington Road, that upon inspection it was found that owing to the faulty construction of the furnace, and the nature of the fuel used, which consisted of the lighter portions of paper and other rubbish brought to the works, vast quantities of dust were given out of the chimney shaft. That some hundred and ninety to two hundred men were employed, the principal work carried on being wood-chopping, tin plate work and paper sorting, that the workmen are fed and housed upon the premises, and that with the exception of the water closets being in dirty condition, the dormitories, workshops, &c., were in fairly good condition. |
dc32cf51-b5ee-43e1-a4eb-e1ff36fb6645 | 116 Formerly the men received at these premises were similar in all respects to casuals in a workhouse, but it is now the practice only to receive men transferred from the other centres, at which the Salvation Army carry on their social work. There are the necessary means provided for washing and bathing purposes, &c. Drainage work The number of inspections made by the Drain in connection with New Inspector have been 8139 in addition to which Buildings, &c. frequent visits were made by the Chief Sanitary Inspector. The drains tested numbered 1217 which comprise both sectional testings of the work while in progress and and final testings which are made prior to the occupation of the dwellings. The number of premises in respect of which the whole of the works have been completed in a satisfactory manner and as required by the Bye-laws of the London County Council under Sec. |
929b9d8b-1985-43ab-8bca-63070160b6af | 39 (1) Public Health (London) Act, 1891 and the regulations of the Vestry, was 244, whilst the houses for which certificates have been given with reference to the water supply under Sec, 48 Public Health (London) Act, 1891, numbered 236. In connection with the latter, attention should be directed to the fact that the certificate in question (which has exclusive reference to the water supply of new houses) is frequently represented by builders to persons purchasing houses, and also desiring to know if the drainage, &c., has been properly carried out, as a certificate of the Sanitary Authority with reference to the whole sanitary condition of the premises, and in order to prevent this, it has been found neeessary to endorse the certificates granted to the effect that it has only reference to the water supply. It may be stated that there is an increasing willingness on the part of builders to conform to the Vestry's requirements, and much less difficulty is now experienced in this respect than formally. |
144ae9c0-0bca-44ef-8a61-363b8036090c | The Bye-laws of the London County Council regarding the construction of w.c.s are in some respects impracticable, and 117 in others not sufficiently stringent. It stated in the remarks with reference to new drainage works in my last annual report, that our present drainage regulations were insufficient in various details, but as the London County Council had framed draft Bye-laws under Section 202 of the Metropolis Management Act 1855 it was not suggested ours should be amended. Twelve months have however, elapsed, and we are unfortunately still without a code of Bye-laws made by a central authority and applicable to the whole Metropolis. The Chief Inspector informs me that it is frequently remarked by builders that in other parishes they are allowed to do such and such a thing, why cannot they do the same here? It therefore at times becomes somewhat difficult to enforce regulations of the Vestry, as not seeming to have the same weight as a Bye-law made under a special section of an Act of Parliament and ratified by the Local Government Board. |
25a92b0e-a83b-4940-b711-1b683f4a4483 | The Vestry has therefore deemed it necessary (pending a uniform code of Bye-laws being made by the London County Council) to revise the drainage regulations in very many particulars, and in the preparation of these, have noted several of the more salient points in the draft Bye-laws of the London County Council, and included them in such Regulations, so that should Bye-laws by the London County Council be made in respect to drainage, it is thought they will, in many respects, be similar to the Regulations adopted by the Vestry on the 13th April last. There is one other point to which attention should be directed, and that is the vexed question of repairs to combined systems of drainage. |
b0207826-ad3a-4d52-b2a3-3660f50bd110 | Probably nearly two-thirds of the properties in the Parish are drained by combined operations, and whilst a very large number have already been re-constructed by the owners of the same, the Vestry has been compelled by the legal decisions given on the point, to repair, and where the Vestry have been satisfied they were liable, they have given directions for so much of the combined systems as were 118 sewers to be relaid, and the works have been carried out. |
64f3ba8c-d943-41ce-85e2-c14c326bd8bb | It is however regrettable that the Vestry should be made responsible for work in connection with private property in which it has not the slightest pecuniary benefit, and in many instances is entirely helpless, as cases have been decided to the effect that a drain laid down under the approval of the Sanitary Authority, may become a sewer through the act of some person making a surreptitious connection thereto from an adjoining property, and it can only be said that it would be well to amend such law, in order that the burden of repair of private property should fall upon the shoulders of those who own the same, and not upon the Vestries and District Boards. Several local authorities have found it necessary to appoint a special staff of workmen to re-construct these systems of drainage, so great has the Work become. Medical During the past eighteen months, one hundred and Examination . of Vestry ninety-two employes have been medically examined, Employes. and certificates of the state of health given. |
26f3d5e8-cffd-42e2-9e56-0010872dc555 | During 1897 one hundred and eleven were examined. The results are entered in a register for future reference. Mortuary. During the year under report two hundred and eighty-nine bodies were received into the Mortuary, six for sanitary reasons, these latter deaths having arisen generally from infectious disease. On two hundred and eightytwo of the bodies deposited in the Mortuary, inquests were held. In conclusion I beg to refer again to the extremely low death rate for the year 1897 shewn in this report, as an indication that the sanitation of the Parish is satisfactory, which condition I hope will be maintained, the more especially as the Vestry has determined to strengthen the sanitary staff by increasing the district inspectors to eight in number, the parish being re-divided into a like number of districts; in addition to the appointment of 119 a female inspector to supervise places where women and girls are employed. I have to express my thanks to all my colleagues for their ready and able assistance during the year under report. |
42f5cad9-7122-43b6-b362-53755aa8349e | To the Health Committee and the members of the Vestry generally, I beg to tender my high appreciation of the kind support with which I have always been favoured; indeed, without such support the duties of a Medical Officer of Health, are becoming so numerous, being added to year by year, that it would be impossible to carry them out successfully.

bce082d0-2649-46f1-8a7e-d4ade8c24e26 | Gentlemen, A recapitulation of the main facts of the Census enumeration of 1896 is again necessary in order that the following statistics may be seen to be correctly based. 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.

1289bbc8-9cf2-4810-89cd-b157851e2423 | 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. |
56cdede5-f114-4453-bbb4-54a8c37f15ab | 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 1898, which is obtained by adding the above number, two thousand nine hundred and thirty-one yearly, so as to shew the population estimated to exist on the middle day of the year. The estimated mean population of the parish for 1898 was 171,709, and it is upon this number that the birth and death rates which follow are calculated. Details as to the Metropolis are added for the purpose of comparison. The estimated mean population of London for 1898 was 4,504,766, the number of births registered during the year was 132,432 and the consequent birth rate 29.4 per thousand. The number of births registered in Battersea in 1898 was 5,157 giving a birth rate of 30.0 per thousand or 0.5 per thousand above that for the Metropolis. |
1eb334b7-5b65-42d3-a550-6df51b508a78 | 8 The deaths in London numbered 83,936, with a consequent Metropolitan death rate of 18.6 per thousand. The deaths registered in Battersea numbered 2,762, the mortality (uncorrected) being equal to 16.0 per thousand or 2.6 per thousand below that for London. It will be observed that the birth and other rates approximate very closely to those of the Metropolis at large, of which indeed Battersea is now becoming an integral part, losing much of its suburban character and acquiring that of a town district. That the death rate has not increased is evidence of care in sanitary administration which has always distinguished this parish and the tendency to equalization and constant lowering of the mortality over the whole Metropolis is probably in great part due to the fact that the methods adopted for many years past in this parish have now met with almost universal adoption over the rest of the Metropolis. |
731e7a46-fd35-48d8-be05-4034a7db3fff | The death rate for the year under report, 16.0 per thousand per annum, is, with the exception of 1888, 1889, 1894 and last year, the lowest in the past forty-three years, when these statistics commenced, as shewn in Table V. An epidemic wave of zymotic disease has been experienced in the Metropolis during the last few years, causing an increase of notifications over preceding years. The number of notifications received by me for the last six years is given below:— Year. 1898 1,975 1897 2,569 1896 1,929 1895 1,657 1894 1,845 1893 2,798 Of the 1,975 notifications received in 1898, seventy-nine were duplicates, and notifications were withdrawn in nine instances, leaving a net total of 1,887 cases of infectious disease. |
aecbffd4-e22f-4b26-a608-4a83f560155b | 9 It has been shewn that the total number of deaths in Battersea during 1898 was two thousand seven hundred and sixty-two, giving an uncorrected death rate of 16.0 per thousand. If this be corrected by deleting the deaths of two hundred and fifty-eight non-parishioners which took place in the parish, viz.:—Wandsworth and Clapham Union Infirmary, two hundred and thirty, the Bolingbroke Hospital, thirteen, and elsewhere fifteen, and adding three hundred and eighty-eight deaths of Battersea parishioners which took place in the various public institutions, outside the Parish, a total mortality of Battersea parishioners of two thousand eight hundred and ninety-two will result, giving a corrected death-rate of 16.8 per thousand per annum. |
1aca7242-fc24-4116-9bd2-896b5b47c38a | 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-two 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. |
f63afa6d-e84c-4421-bd57-5ce84324015f | 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, &c. 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 10 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, three hundred and eighty-six out of a total of one thousand two hundred and forty-six deaths under five years were from Zymotic diseases, a proportion which ought to be largely diminished. This, however, shews a great ment compared with former years. Particulars of the other ages at death are also given in this table. |

This parish at that time consisted of a congeries of small villages, between which extended market gardens; the inhabitants 20 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. |
a797bede-5780-48de-b189-f77600a14bbb | 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. |
dd93eacc-9db7-469c-a714-fc6513562f3f | It will be observed that the year 1898 comes out very favourably by contrast, having the lowest mortality, with four exceptions, of the forty-three years included in Table V. 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. 21 table v. comparative statistics of births, mortality, &c.
