One uncertified death occurred through the year, in
which the coroner did not think it necessary to hold an
inquest.
Sanitary
Work.
A list of the various sanitary operations
carried on throughout the year will be found in the combined
report. I am glad to say a greater number of houses
and premises were inspected than during the previous
year. i his house to house inspection is really a very
important matter, and is the foundation for sanitary work
in the parish. By means of it all insanitary conditions
in the poorer class of property are discovered which
otherwise would not be known. 3,432 houses were thus
inspected. 782 Preliminary and 38 Statutory Notices
were served. This would indicate that a higher sanitary
standard is being reached, necessitating fewer notices.
Eleven cases were investigated by the magistrate, and six
compulsory orders obtained.
72 rooms were disinfected after infectious disease,
and 12 were stripped and cleaned.
Bedding was burnt in two cases, and disinfected by
contractor in 51 cases.
76 drains were re-laid, 342 water-closets were
cleansed and repaired, 73 dust-bins were provided or
repaired.
