CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE ACTS.
During the year, applications were received for Certificates under
this Act in respect to 215 dwellings, being 47 in excess of tbe number
applied for in 1904.
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 the department, and illustrates
how year by year additional duties and responsibilities are imposed upon
Local Sanitary Authorities and their Officers.
During the year under review Certificates having been issued in
rcspect of 218 "dwellings," as compared with 102 "dwellings" in 1904.
