SANITARY WORK.
In accordance with my usual practice, I submit herewith the general statement as to the past year's work, together with comparative figures for previous years:—
1930 | 1931 | 1932 | 1933 | 1934 | 1935 | 1936 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Total primary inspections | 8,004 | 7,592 | 6,652 | 8,166 | 8,039 | 10,854 | 8,184 |
Total re-inspections | 18,167 | 20,461 | 17,284 | 18,105 | 17,704 | 20,112 | 16,906 |
Total Intimation Notices served | 3,458 | 3,552 | 2,623 | 2,748 | 2,656 | 2,850 | 2,431 |
Total Statutory Notices served | 1,078 | 1,104 | 687 | 777 | 632 | 698 | 658 |
Total Housing Act Notices served | 42 | 12 | 10 | 18 | 4 | 1 | - |
Total premises on which works were completed | 3,855 | 3,941 | 2,990 | 3,116 | 2,977 | 3,256 | 2,863 |
Total improvements effected during the year | 12,053 | 14,116 | 10,928 | 12,440 | 11,185 | 11,301 | 9,947 |
The drop in the figures for 1936 is in part accounted for by the fact
that in 1935, two temporary Inspectors were employed for a period of
nine months and also that during 1936 considerable time was spent on
extensive housing inspections.
I am satisfied that the high standard reached in previous years
has been maintained.
In addition to the above, 2,429 inspections and calls have been
made by the Food Inspector, Mr. Yates, and 283 visits were made to
St. George's Wharf by Inspector Webster for the purpose of the
examination of imported foods.
