1. To make a house to house inspection of their district as required
by the Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909.
2. To inquire into complaints made to the Sanitary Authority.
3. To supervise the work required to be done for the abatement of
the nuisances which they have discovered.
4. To inspect ice cream factories.
5. To inspect dairies and mikshops.
6. To inspect stables, yards, manure pits, passages, courts and
vacant plots of land.
