Sir,—
I beg to submit to you my fourteenth Annual Report of the sanitary
work carried out in my district (East Combined Division) during the

Inspection of Division.
1659 premises have been inspected, 1424 in response to complaints of
nuisances, 144 on account of notifications of infectious diseases, and the
remainder (174) being house-to-house visitations.
Of the 1659 so dealt with 983 were found to be in a fair sanitary
condition, whilst in the remainder (676 premises) nuisances were found to
exist, which necessitated the following sanitary works being executed
