III.—SANITARY ADMINISTRATION.
In Table XYI. of Appendix will be found particulars of the general sanitary work by the
District Inspectors for 1905, and in Table XIII. the number of premises on the register to which
special attention has been paid.
The house to house inspections number 5,629. This is about 600 more than last year,
and is an average of 625 per Inspector. Taking the number of houses at the last census as
15,817, at this rate of inspection it would take 2f years to inspect the whole Borough once. The
number of re-inspections was 27,580, against 24,707 in 1904. The number of intimations served
was 3,647, against 3,670 in the previous year. The number of statutories was 1,249, against
899 in 1904.
Offensive Matter.
30 summonses were taken out under the London County Council bye-laws for carrying
offensive matter through the streets at improper hours and in improper receptacles. This is a
great increase on the previous year, when the summonses were five. This shows great vigilance
on the pari of the Chief and other Inspectors.
