HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
The houses which come under the operation of the by-laws received 624 inspections
during the year, followed by 4,299 subsequent reinspections and calls, so that
the total visits amounted to 4,923. The decreased number of visits is due to the
transfer of the Inspectors to fill vacancies on the districts, and to the interval between
the transfer and the appointment of the new Inspectors.
These inspections resulted in 396 intimations being served on the persons
responsible, which were followed by 56 statutory notices to demand the abatement
of the nuisances discovered by the Inspectors specially engaged upon this work.
Altogether 1,380 improvements were effected in 321 premises.
