And 10, Vandon-street —
The insanitary condition of this house having been reported to
the Committee on the 19th of September; in accordance with
their instructions, I, in conjunction with the Surveyor, reported
on the 20th of that month the desirability of closing it under the
provisions of the Act, and as a result a Magistrate's order was
formally obtained on the 20th November, but the house had
been voluntarily closed then for a month.
The following is a summary of the Inspector's work done during the year:—
| St. Margaret's. | St. John's. | |
|---|---|---|
| Houses examined | 1,282 | 2,006 |
| Defects found | 1,730 | 2,848 |
| Notices served | 913 | 1,350 |
| Work completed | 836 | 1,262 |
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
BARNARD HOLT.
