REGISTRATION OF HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS, OR OCCUPIED

(29 & 30 Vic., cap. 90, sec. 35, & 37 & 38 Vic., cap. 89, sec. 47.)

THE DUSTING OF THE PARISH, 1888-89.
I have appended, as usual, a tabulated statement (Table No. VII.)
of the applications for the removal of Dust during the year ending
Lady-day, 1889, showing the number received during each quarter
from the eight different Wards of the Parish.
Of the total number of 5,078 received from residents during the
year, 3,480 were by Letter or Postal Card, and 1,598 were made
personally, or by messages sent to the Vestry Offices.
The 5,078 applications received from inhabitants were at the rate
of 12.1 per cent, of the 41,971 assessments in the Parish, as against
22.2 per cent, in 1887.
The number of applications received during this year was by far
the lowest on record, notwithstanding the increase in the assessments.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. MEYMOTT TIDY, M.B., Barrister-at-Law,
Medical Officer of Health.
30th June, 1889.
