Description

Unique IDA-00325294SeriesLetters Received [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 23rd December 1892 and 8th February 1893Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionLetter. W L Beavan, 10 Cleveland Avenue near Crown Street, Surry Hills. He complains of rag-pickers almost daily bringing in large quantities of rags and spreading them to dry on the grass of a vacant piece of ground in High Holborn Street at the rear of the Wesleyan Church in Cleveland Street. They are a man and a woman who use filthy language and occasionally fight, and there is the danger of disease from the rags being contracted by the large numbers of children who play on the grass after they have gone. Attached is a report dated 30 Jan 1893 by R Seymour, Inspector of Nuisances who has had the land inspected four times and no rags were found, and if the practice is discovered, 'immediate steps will be taken to prevent a continuance of the evil'.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
