Section 3.
Sanitary Circumstances of the Borough.
Sanitary Inspection of the Borough.
The following statement contains particulars required to be submitted
under Article 19 (12) of the Sanitary Officers Order, 1922, and
affords some indication of the work performed by the Sanitary
inspectors:—
Total number of Inspections during the year, 6,526. Re-inspections
11,437.
These inspections were occasioned by various causes, e.g., 716 com.
plaints received and investigated; special inspections; examinations
after occurrence of infectious disease; sanitary works, voluntary or
otherwise, in progress (642 deposits of plans and particulars for redrainage
and other sanitary work were received during 1925);

The improvement resulting from the service of these Notices may
be gauged in some measure by the following list; but much of the
work of the staff, which is of considerable value in maintaining and
improving the standard of sanitation of the Borough, does not readily
admit of tabulation.
