HOUSE TO HOUSE INSPECTIONS.
As will be seen by the following list the Inspectors throughout
the year have persevered with their house to house inspections,
and I may perhaps be allowed to add, in my
opinion this systematic inspection must have a beneficial
effect in keeping the district in a sanitary condition, in discovering
and remedying nuisances which are found to exist,
and must tend to improve the health of the inhabitants,
The house to house inspections were as follows:—
Rouel Road
Kintore Street
London Street
Martin Street
Stephenson's Court
Galleywall Road
Willow Grove
Cadbury Road
Woolf Street
Aberdour Street
Macks Road

Guinness' Buildings,
Vienna Road
