During the present month 59 houses have been inspected by
Inspector Wood in St. John's, and 5 by Inspector Crow in
St. Margaret's, but the weather being severe, many of the
requirements have been unavoidably postponed.
All the defects of the previous month have been remedied in
St. John's, and those in St. Margaret's are promised to be
completed.
My attention has been directed by a Rate-payer to the
nuisance arising from frying fish, so as to be an annoyance to
the immediate inhabitants; but having conferred with the
Solicitor, Mr. Rogers, I regret to find I have no power to
interfere.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
Your faithful Servant,
BARNARD HOLT.

February, 1858.
