A total of 2149 houses have been inspected during 1909,
and in 216 (i.e., 10.05 per cent.) a result was obtained from
the chemical test applied to the drains. A total of 3096
nuisances were found to exist in 1564 houses (i.e., 72.8 per
cent. of the total houses inspected), but many were of a
trilling nature, and not in any sense dangerous to the health
of the inmates of the houses concerned.
