The filthy condition
of this lane was commented upon by Mr. Cafpman last year and
steps were taken to abate the nuisance.
Legal notices for
dust bins were served on the Tenant of all floors of houses
Nos. 47 to 55 Queen's Road East which have been provided .
Periodical visits have been made byme since to see that the
nuisance did not recur. On my inspection of Tuesday
I noticed
an unusual amount of rubbish in the lane so looked up to see
if I could discover who the offender could be, there generally
being a certain amount deposited on the ledges; while doing
so I discovered that on the verandah of No.51 Top floor the
occupants had it enclosed (as the houses have no yards as
required under Section 175, the only open space provided being
this lane, under those conditions it required that all windows
in rear part of the premises be unobstructed so as to provide
the necessary light and ventilation required, I visited the
premises and discovered it to be occupied by Portuguese people
there being a lady on the premises at the time,
I asked per-
mission to be allowed to inspect the verandah in question.
I found a wooden partition had been erected extendag the
whole width of the verandah about 4 feet high.
