With Mr. Brown, there are, therefore, three inspectors engaged in
Survey work, and it is estimated that an inspection of the whole Borough
will take approximately three years.
No sanitary notices are served by these inspectors, but serious
nuisances, and conditions likely to lead to them in the near future, are
referred to the district inspectors for their action. This procedure has
been adopted in order to prevent the time of the housing inspectors being
taken up with re-inspections and the interference with the survey of the
Borough as a whole, which, to be of any real value, should be completed
as soon as possible. Each district inspector, when opportunity occurs,
also carries out house-to-house inspection in his district.
During the year the following house-to-house inspections have been carried out:—
| Work of Survey Inspectors. | No. of houses inspected. | Total. |
