Offensive Trades.

CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACTS.
During the year, applications were received for Certificates under
this Act in respect to 168 dwellings, being 127 in excess of the number
applied for in 1903.
Each application involves a detailed survey of the dwelling, as well
as an inspection of the drains and sanitary fittings.
In most cases a considerable amount of work has had to be carried
out before the premises were in such a condition as to entitle the owner
to a Certificate. It will be readily understood that this has resulted in
a great increase in the work of the staff of my department, and illustrates
how year by year additional duties and responsibilities are imposed upon
Local Sanitary Authorities and their Officers.
The following is a list of the 102 "dwellings" certified by me in 1904, together with the date of certification:—
