NUISANCES ARISING FROM ACCUMULATION
OF MANURE.
During the year several nuisances or alleged nuisances have
occurred as a result of accumulation of manure. These cases
have received immediate attention, and in each case any nuisance
arising has been abated. In one instance, owing to the complainant
advising the Local Government Board, it was necessary fome to furnish a special report to the Board, which was as
follows :—
A Special Report by the Medical Officer of Health on an alleged
nuisance arising from accumulation of Manure.
The following letter was received by the Town Clerk :—
LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD,

reference to a nuisance caused by a stable ; and I am to request that
the Board may be furnished with the observations of the Borough
Council and with a report by the Medical Officer of Health on the
subject of the communication.
