House-to-House Inspections.
House-to-house inspections are dealt with under the Housing
Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909.
Other Inspections.
The work in connection with disinfection, smoke abatement
inspection of factories and workshops and outworkers' premises
bake-houses, restaurants, and dining (coffee) rooms, births , the milk
depot, the tuberculosis dispensaries, etc., and the carrying out of
Food and Drugs and Housing Acts, is dealt with under separate
headings.
Legal Proceedings.
It is again satisfactory to note that, during 1916, in only 3 cases
was it found necessary to resort to legal proceedings before the Court
in connection with Sanitary work under the Public Health and
Metropolis Management Acts, in two cases orders being made for
the work to be done, and in the other the summons being adjourned
sine die and the premises closed. These legal proceedings had
reference to private houses, viz.:— (a) defective drains and (b) dirty
and dilapidated premises, defective roofs and gutters, absence of
dustbins, &c.
