The House-to-House inspection has been continued
during the year. This Inspector reports that
during the year he has inspected 2,999 houses and
other premises in the borough, against 3,054 houses in
the previous year.
As a result of his inspection, defects were discovered
in 1,041 houses, and 1,041 Intimation Notices
were served by the House-to-House Inspector. These
cases were subsequently dealt with by the four District
Inspectors.
Three hundred and fifty-five houses coming under
the provisions of the Bye-laws as to "Houses let in
lodgings or occupied by members of more than
one family," were discovered by this Inspector, and
were subsequently dealt with by the Inspector in
charge of the work under the Bye-laws.
The Health Visitor reports to me that she has
made 2,522 visits with regard to the care of
infants, and has advised parents as to the methods
of feeding, clothing, etc. She also reports to me
that she discovered 89 premises on which insanitary
conditions existed.
SANITATION OF THE JAPANBRITISH
EXHIBITION.
The Sanitation of the Japan-British Exhibition
had, as in the previous year, the most careful
consideration of your Public Health Committee both
as to the efficiency and sufficiency of the sanitary
accommodation provided. Owing to the sparseness
of attendance at the Exhibition the amount of sanitary
accommodation was greatly in excess of the requirements.
