The premises where infectious diseases occurred were all
inspected and examined, and notices served when necessary.
The Shelter provided for temporary occupation by
families during the disinfection of their rooms has been used
19 times during the year, by 82 persons, 73 of whom were
also provided with sleeping accommodation.
Collection of House Refuse.
This important service continues to be carried out regularly
and efficiently, as for the sixth year in succession not a
single complaint of neglect or inattention has been received.
On the contrary, 206 visits have been made to houses where
the dustmen have reported failure to obtain the refuse at the
appointed times; and in four cases, where the occupiers have
refused the dustmen's request to permit the removals, notices
have been served, but no further proceedings were necessary.
27 new sanitary dust-pails have been provided in the
place of old brick or wooden dust-bins. These must facilitate
the work of the dustmen, and reduce to a minimum the
nuisance caused by the storage and removal of house refuse.
One ancient public dust-bin has been demolished during
the year.
