To the General Purposes and Sanitary Committee.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Report showing summary of Sanitary
Work carried out to 31st December, 1894.
A total of 1,213 houses and premises have been inspected.
846 through house-to-house inspection.
193 on complaint duly recorded.
117 after notification of infectious disease.
14 special bake-house inspection.
43 through sundry causes.
In 580 cases various nuisances and sanitary defects were
found, and 487 Notices have been served for the abatement of the
same.
In many cases letters to the respective owners, &c., resulted
in the necessary works being carried out. In six cases proceedings
were taken before a magistrate; orders were obtained for the work
to be done in three.
In the other instances a combined drain for the three houses
was ruled to be a "sewer," and the work was carried out by the
Surveyor's Department.
Pinal Notices to the number of 41 have been served.
