Sanitary Condition of the City.

-

Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the City
Commissioners of Sewers, Dr. Letheby, the medical
officer of health, reported on the state of 222 houses
that had been inspected during the week, and he
submitted a list of 30 places for sanitary improve-
ment. lie also reported on the condition of the
bakehouses in the northern and southern divisions
of the city, and recommended that orders should
be given for the cleansing and limewhiting of 18 of
them, which were in a filthy state. The returns show
favourable state of the public health, for last week
there were but 44 deaths registered in the City,
although the average number for the corresponding
week of the last 10 years is 64. The chief causes
of death were diseases of a chronic character,
there having been but eight deaths from tuber-
cular diseases, four from inflammatory affec-
tions of the lungs, and five from diseases of a zymo-
tic character. Touching the quality of the gas sup-
plied to the city, Dr. Letheby reported that the illu-
minating power of the gas supplied to the city dur-
ing the week had been constantly above the require-
ments of the act of parliament ; for the average
power of the City Company's gas had been equal to
13.87 standard sperm candles, the Chartered to
13.72, and the Great Central to 13.51. But the
chemical quality of the gas had been, with three
exceptions of the City Company's, at all times bad.
The average amount of sulphur in the Chartered gas
had been 22.6 grains per 100 cubic feet of gas, and
of the Great Central 25.7 grains. Besides which,
the gas of thn Chartered Company had been con-
stantly overcharged with ammonia ; notice of this
had been given to the company again and again,
but no improvement had taken place.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—lioniceoptithiC practitioners, aid
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being
the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acccptatie to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was Induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subje.t, and at length suc:eeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first to
produce an article pure in its composition, aad so refined by
the pert st trituration it te:eives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps' cocoa is distbuuished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma
Dr. Hassell in his work, "Food and its Adulterations,"
says—" Cocoa contains a great variety of important nutritive
principles ; every ingredient necessary to the growth and
sustenance of the body." Again, "As a nutritive, cocoa
stands very much higher than either coffee or tea." Direc-
tions : —Two teaspoon ruts of the powder in a breakfast cup,
filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined

Improved Houses for Working

Last night a public nleetkng 4it'sl:l-' e lin the Lam-
beth Baths for the purposeet co sidering the means
pt.%
of erecting improved and cheaper dwellings for
working men, rendered necessary by the great
demolition now going on in London, and the great
increase of rent.
The chair vi as occupied by Mr. G. M. MURPHY,
who, as is well known, has shown himself much
interested in promoting the true interests of the
working men, and in introducing the subject read a
letter from the Earl of Shaftesbury, in which lie

would
o
read from Mr. D. Rogers, approving of the move-
ment proposed to be made in this direction. The
chairman also read a statement, which was largely
circulated in the room, which, after showing the
great necessity for providing increased accommoda-
tion for working men, and pointing out the enor-
mous power they possessed by combination to sup-
ply that accommodation for themselves, proceeded to
state that it was proposed that the working meii
should combine to form a company protected by tho
Limited Liability Acts, to be called " The London
House Improvement Company (Limited)," some of
the shares in which shotild be payable by periodical
instalment, in the same way as contributions to an
ordinary benefit or building society ; and also that
there be another class of shares, to be paid up by -
calls much more rapidly, which would probably be
taken up by those friends of such movements
who had more wealth at command. Plans had been
prepared by Mr. S. Sharp, architect, containing many
improvements upon the most successful model
dwellings, more economical in cost of erection, and
avoiding many objections made to those buildings
It was suggested that for a few years (say to the
completion of the payments on the instalment
shares), they should invest their profits, over and
above five per cent., in the erection of additional
buildings, and borrow upon the security of their
property to the amount of one-half of its value, also
for the purpose of erecting additional buildings.
Calculations were subjoined, showing that by these
means, at the end of the eighth year, after five per
cent. had been regularly paid on the amount paid
up, a considerable increase of dividend might be
safely reckoned upon, while the number of houses
would be more than doubled. Working men taking
shares in the company would have the right of pre-
ference if they wished to occupy the houses of the
company, and might apply their dividends to the
reduction of their rent, receive them in cash, or
allow them to accumulate until they had sufficient,
when they wished to retire from their labours, to
purchase a home in the suburbs, the erection of
which would form a future branch of the company's
operations. A plan was exhibited to the meeting,
describing the nature of the buildings which the
proposed company should erect. The buildings
were to be in separate blocks, each containing two
shops and eight dwelling-houses ; the shops to have
two back rooms attached. The building to be in
fiats, each of which was to contain a living room,
14 feet square, two bedrooms, and a scullery, with
all conveniences, while in the attics it was proposed
to have washhouses and drying rooms, as well as
rooms for those who work at home.
Mr. ROBINSON' moved the following resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. SIIARP :—" That im-
mediate steps are necessary to be taken for the supply
of improved and cheaper dwellings for the labour-
ing classes, and that one effectual means of doing
so will be by the co-operation of working men
themselves."
This resolution was supported by Mr. F. F.
WHITEHURST, who expressed his opinion that the
Government would advance money for the improve-
ment of the dwellings of the labouring classes,
provided it -could obtain it good security for its
repayment.
After a few observations from Mr. WARN, sug-
gesting that all metropolitan railways should be
compelled to take sufficient land on each side of
their line to enable houses suitable for the working
classes to be erected,
The resolution was carried unanimously,
lt,.,,solutions were also agreed to, approving of the
foundation of a limited company, with the object of
improving the dwellings of the working men, such
