HOUSING AND TOWN PLANNING ACT, 1909.
Regulations ok Local Government Board.
The Local Government Board made an order
dated 2nd September, 1910, under Section 17 of the
Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909. In accordance
with your Public Health Committee's instructions,
I presented the following report:—
"With regard to the regulation of the Local Government
Board dated 2nd September, 1910, made under Section 17 of the
Housing and Town Planning Act, &c., 1909, I beg to state that,
owing to the automatic system of house-to-house inspection which
has been made by the Sanitary Authority of this Borough for
many years, there is 110 class of property in this Borough in
a state so dangerous or injurious to health as to be unlit for human
habitation, but in order to comply as far as possible with Article 2
of the said regulation, I have selected the subjoined list of streets
in this Borough which, in my opinion, it would be advantageous
to have inspected more often than can be done by the automatic
system of house-to-house inspection adopted, that is to say, thev
are the streets in the district which, in my opinion, are most
prone to become in an insanitary condition. I beg therefore
to submit the following list and advise that a house-to-house
inspection be made of them at the commencement of each year
under my supervision by Inspector Cosson, having regard to
Article 2, Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
" I beg to advise that under Article 3 a special register be
kept detailing the sanitary requirements as specified in the article,
and that the book be presented to your Public Health Committee
at each meeting.
