HOUSE TO HOUSE INSPECTION.
The Council appointed Inspector Wright in March, 1904, to
carry out the duties of house to house inspection throughout the
whole Borough. These duties were carefully carried out, with the
result that many sanitary defects were discovered, and which were
afterwards remedied. Inspector Wright, however, resigned in
September of last year, and no one has yet been appointed in his
place.
The subjoined table gives the result of such inspection.
