Public Health Department,
31st December, 1905.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to lay before you my fifth Annual Report of the
sanitary work and other duties carried out under the different
Acts in connection therewith, in the West Combined district,
during the 12 months past, rendering as far as possible a detailed
account of nuisances abated, inspections made, summonses applied
for, etc.
In investigating complaints and making inspections of all kinds
1,407 houses or other premises have been visited, 298 of this
number being in connection with infectious diseases, including
those notified from the Public institutions and 60 being Houseto-House
visits.
The number of infectious diseases shows a still further falling
off as compared with previous years.
House-to-House Inspections.
These visits were confined principally to premises that (according
to the list which you had prepared) had escaped attention up
to the end of 1903, and which has proved of much use. They
were carried out in the undermentioned places.
Chrisp Street.
Fawe Street.
Goodliffe Place.
Ivy Cottages.
Hill Place Street.
Northumberland Street,
Upper North Street.
Ricardo Street.
Flint Street.
Rigden Street.
Flint Avenue.
