SANITARY OPERATIONS.
The Borough Engineer, Building Surveyors anti In-
spector of Nuisances reported various particulars- of the
'operations in their several departments during t'he•week;
from which it appeared that 308 nuisances complained
of by inhabitants had been inspected, and means taken
to remedy them ; and 768 houses in the unhealthiestdis-
tricts, containing 2,324 apartments and 586 cellars, had
been put under examination, with the view of improving
their i,anitary condition.

HEALTH OF THE BOROUGH.
• The Medical Officer of Health reported' that during
the week ending the 21st of January, 216, deaths were-
register6d in Liverpool, being 5 less than in. the week
previous, and 32 less than the corrected average of the
corresponding week of the preceding ten years. One--
third of the death& occurred 'in the out-townships, and
two-thirds in the parish of Liverpool. Of 38 deaths-
ascribed to diseases of the zymotic class, 16 were from
measles (10 of these in the workhouse), 5 from hooping
cough, 5 from diarrho3a, 3 scarlatina, 3 typhus, 1
diptheria (an adult), -2 erysipelas, 2 croup, 1 ague.
Diseases of the lungs, with consumption, occasioned 85
deaths, against 92 in the previous week. A married
woman, aged 31, died from delirium tremens. 10 males
and 29 females died between 50 and 100 years- of sage.
Mr. STItT said it was very gratifying to- find that
there was only one case of diphtheria during the week.
There was a prevalent alarm that that pecuhar disease
was increasing, and indeed it was said that in some
districts of the town it was rife. Now, the return of
the medical officer of health embraced all the districts
in the borough, and yet there was- only one case which
he was able to certify as a death resulting from
diphtheria. He would ask whether that disease was
epidemic in the town?.
Dr. DUNCAN said it was not. There was only about
one death in a week resulting from it.

THE BUILDING SURVEYOR'S REPORT.
Mr. RISHTON, the building surveyor, submitted the
following annual report :--

In submitting to your committee my- 22nd annual report
respecting the building operations in the borough, I think it
right to call your attention to a few facts _connected with the
proceedings of the past year.
It will be seen from the tabular statement annexed that the
number of dwellings erected or in course of erection during the
year is 41 more than in the previous year—considerably more
than in any other similar period for the last twelve years, and
about four times as many as were erected. in 1849 and 1850
respectively.
Many of these houses do not exceed two storeys in height ;
they are let at rents within the means of the working classes,
and are constructed so au tolccommoAath lodgers without in-
terfering with domestic comfort or privacy.
In some instances houses have been built with two street
doors to each, on the level of the ground ; one door leading to
the apartments on the ground floor; ; the other .by a. flight of
steps to the apartments above ; each having its own separate
yard, privy, or water closet. The tenants who occupy such
houses have really good accommodation at less cost than those
who Occupy the old, badly-built houses destitute- of every
sanitary requirement.
. .
With reference to .the subject of the foundations of build-,
ings, Which has lately engaged the attention, of
.your com-
mittee, I have to report that m, the. past Tear, as in prexions
years, little or no difficulty has been experienced where archi-
tects or respectable bulders were employed; but_ the evils
arising.fronareckless and incompetent persons building houses
• on refuse deposited on excavated land still continues, and any
remedy that can be applied will be of great advantage, not
merely to prevent buildings being, erected over boles already
made, but in regulating future operations, so that persons who
intend opening pits on land to• be used for; building purposes
may,„ inexpensively and, easily, before the pits or places are
filled up with rubbish, provide proper substructures-for build-
ings afterwards to be erected thereon.
I also beg to furnish you with the probable cost of the build-
ing operations within the borough during the year, namely,
the erection of dwelling-houses, warehouses, offices, &c., as
also the alterations of old premises and rebuilding new ones in
their place. This will be seen to amount to a sum exceeding
£528,000, irrespective of the value of the land.
Owing to the prevalence of heavy gales, many serious ac-
cidents have occurred during the year in Offerent parts of
the country, from the falling of chimneys and other parts of
buildings. This was the case in London and in 'Paris. In
Liverpool your committee caused a great number of premises
in a ruinous state to be taken down or secured; the.result is,

that scarcely any disaster of the kind occurred in the borough:
' In proof of the progress which the town is making it may
be observed that, taking the now houses for the year, 1,758 in
all, as accommodating six persons each and taking the separate
cellar dwellings, 110 in all, as accommodating four persons
each, they would represent an additional population of nearly
11,000, whilst the houses-pulled dawn in the same period are
less than 120.
With reference to the state of the middens and cesspools, I
haVe again to report that a number of those which were con-
sidered injurious ,to health have been removed, and water
closets' substituted. Many, however,. still'. remain in a very
dilapidated " state, causing great nuisance to persons living
near to them ; but it Is difficult to deal with such places other-
wise than gradually, partly on account of the poverty of the
owners and partly on account of the risk inciienti to the dila-
pidated state of the houses, and the impossibility of construct-
ing drainage for them with any reasonable degree of safety.

average since the Sanitary Aet came into operation,. They
relate principally to the keeping of animals, such as horses,
denkeys, swine, &c., in the interior of dwellings, or in close
pent-up yards attached thereto, and sometimes in the rooms in
which the owners dwell ; of stagnant water in cesspools,
courts, and on waste land; chemical refuse deposited in pro-
fribited plages ; offensive matter from middens oozing into cel-
lars, courts, and streets ; defective spouts for carrying away
water from roofs and the like, amounting to 5,832, many
arising on the complaint of the inhabitants, others
detected by the inspectors. The whole of these nuisances
have been removed, or the work is in progress, with the
exception of cases where the magistrates have refused to
convict. Several of the latter were informations laid in respect
of nuisances caused by the keeping of swine neat dwelling-

The effect of this, is, that the complaints ftom the Palos
d
which in 185 V were 4,068, amount for 1859 to only 369 ;
the cases of neglect observed by inspectors, which m

INSPECTION OP INFERIOR itirraLLlNGs.
Three men are constantly employed- in, visiting- prep'
inhabited by the lowest class in the community, for the pu„t
pose of enforcing the requisite degree of cleanliness, to prol
• • d
disease. If premises-are found in a filthy condition, and e
fault rests with the-tenant, he is called upon to parif3'
place ; if the fault rests with the landlord; then notice is-serl„ie
upon him. At first there was great difficulty in getting Pe°Y d

Iv 74
is, that of. 10,730 notices-served during the past year,
cases had to be brought before the justice s. All that is
%tired of the parties is, to limewash the objectionable rooal's
the cost is trifling. Many of the people living in these ow
are thankful to the committee for their interference. It 'A
certain that a great amount of disease is thus prevented, 0"
all the respectable house agents admit the fact.

CELLARS. ,;-
The occupation of condemned cellars, unfit for human ;
tation, is still carried on-to a very considerable extent.
a variety of causes, cellars which are cleared one ureek
occupied again the following week. This arises in 0-ill
measure from the migratory character of the people who tisc
in such places ; partly from the recklessness of improyide.
persons as to the consequences of living in them, and pall',
from the cupidity of the tenants renting thehouses, whoma t
a profit by breaking the-law.. Tee premises are let to them 3,
a reduced rent, on account of the oellars being condemned ; 13,1
they still let them, being willirg to set the rent they reeel;:i,
against the risk of a tine: Befoie informations are laid, 11°t ""d
is served on the parties-to discontinue letting the cellar, an.
it is only on refusal that further proceedings are takf,.l.,
Thee magistrates have lately been unwilling to CO''.,
however defective the cellar, =less a bed was f°:&4,
therein-, although the- Sanitary Amendment Act, lu-d,
according to a decision pronounced by Mr. Mansfiel
nullified_thiu objection. .The offenders now avail themselc%
ef the contrary decision, and the effect is-that nearly 35.13 e""
cent. of the informations laid are dismissed on this ground.
The total number of cellars registered. is 14,921, in Se.:
streets ; of ' these only 791 are in conformity with to:
Sanitary Act, and 4,541 are cellars which are only used a'
workrooms, shops, or places of business, and these have not
been interfered with by the officers ; the remaining 9,5&9 are
totally unfit to be used as places of business or as habitations.
Assuming the 14,921 cellars to be o an average occupied by
three persons (which may tre considered a low number), there
would be a population ef 44,763, or the tenth part of the in'
habitants of the whole borough, living in cellars, and tbey
would all be quicklyuccupied unless vigilantly looked afte,,,r,bolf
the Health Committee and their officers. The importan"..,.a.

ROBERT HIGGINS lIISpeCtOr of Nuisanceti_
Mr. STITT said itmouldperhaPs be worth their vilol
seeing.the fact that the magistrates seemed to be reluctan
to deal with bases of cellars' for the committee to the
a respectful representation to the magistracy, as ta tne
importance of having those cellars closed ; othencis4
the labours of the committee weie all in vain.
Mr. BEcx.wrrn —lt all depends upon who P'e
magistrates are.
Mr. HAYDOCK moved that the reports be printed nild
circulated among the members of the Council and Ole
authorities.

Mr. BOWILING seconded the motion.
Mr. GLADSTONE wished. to ask a question which b°
thought was important—whether the number of new
houses corresponded at all in meeting the wants of those
who were turned out of cellars and obliged to leave houseS
which were taken .doiin. .
Mr. RISHTON said he should say not ; but many of
those people: who had. lived
_in cellars went into houses
that were vacatedgby people who removed into those,
new houses. In fact, he had heard the poor people fial
that they found it much better to give a little more rent
than to live in those confined plaees. Theleople•were
moving on into better houses, and the improvement vr.as
gradual. (Hear, hear.)
' It was agreed "that. the reports should be
.printed an°
a
circulated for the information of the Council and 01
authorities. '
A letter from Mr. 0. Williams, suggesting that t 1?
building surveyor should report on certain matters it'
his annual statement, was read, and ordered to lie on the
table.

THE POLICE AND THE LODGING-HOUSES.
A communication was read from the Watch Cool"
mittee, enclosing a resolution, requesting to know' frog
the the Health Committee. whether they intended to. r,:f
continue the inspection of lodging-houses on the Par""
the police. • -
The CHAIRMAN wished to know whether Dr. Dna°
was ready to take charge of that department.
Dr. DUN CAN replied that the police would be entirely
relieved of the duty; and that, in fact, for the lest si't
weeks they had not done the-duty.
The CHAIRMAN said-the answer to • the. Watch' of
mittee would be, that the Health Committee did ne,„.
require the service of the police officers who had hither"
been engaged in the duty.
Mr. VERNON complained that the hour of meeting had
been altered from half-past two to twelve.
Mr. CRELLIN said the attendance had been
since the alteration.
