Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
served in 29 cases of overcrowding, the majority of the cases being
remedied by the Inspectors at the time of inspection and no notice
was necessary, and the amount of overcrowding was not serious.
Secondly, one notice often called attention to more than one
nuisance, as e.g., the workshop might be dirty and the watercloset
apartment also, and in addition the water-closet might be
out of order or the yard paving might be defective.
In these cases only one notice would be served, mention being
made, however, of each separate nuisance. This is only
enumerated in one notice in the number given in the column
headed " notices issued."
The one notice which was not complied with by the 31st
December was served in December 1903.
Inspection of Factories, Workshops, and Workplaces.
