defect to be dealt with.
In 40 cases, comparing with 30 for the previous year, the
occupier was requested to cleanse, and this was immediately done.
During the year 2 cases of overcrowding were found, and in
each case the nuisance was at once abated.
In 32 cases the sanitary accommodation was found to be unsuitable,
insufficient or defective. At 1 workshop separate
accommodation was not provided for each sex. These nuisances
were, however, remedied on the occupier's attention being called
to the matter.

an increase of 14 during the year. In every case the

existed. No case of infectious disease has occurred in a house
occupied by a home-worker.
