CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACTS,
1890 to 1903.
Application for certificates qualifying for exemption
from taxation under the terms of these Acts were made in
respect of the following premises, with results as stated:—
Hollybush Mansions, Hollybush Gardens, twelve tenements. Only
two W.Cs. are provided for each three tenements. There are

30 Church Street, three tenements. A fish shop on the ground
floor of this building excludes the premises from the operation
of the Act. Certificate not granted.
46, 48 and 50, Mount Street, nine tenements. 46 and 48 are in a

they are therefore entitled to exemption from part only of the
tax. No. 50 is satisfactory. Certificates granted.
Numbers 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, Derbyshire
Street. 39 tenements.
Extensive drainage amendments were necessary in
these cases before the certificate could be granted.
These were not quite completed at the date of last

J. Bliss & Sons, the agents, that my requirements should
be satisfactorily carried out and upon this assurance
the certificate was granted.
