" General Order of the Local Government Board,

"He shall also make an annual report to the
“ Sanitary Authority, up to the thirty-first day of
“December in each year, comprising a summary
“of the action taken, or which he has advised the
“Sanitary Authority to take, during the year for
“preventing the spread of disease, and an account
“of the sanitary state of his district generally, at
“the end of the year. The report shall also con“tain
an account of the inspections and inquiries
“which he has made as to conditions injurious or
“dangerous to health existing in his district, and
“of the proceedings in which he has taken part or
“advised under any Statute so far as such pro“ceedings
relate to those conditions; and also an
“account of the supervision exercised by him, or
“on his advice, for sanitary purposes over places
