MALE SANITARY INSPECTORS.
During 1908, no change has taken place in the personnel
of the Male Inspectorial Staff, which, individually and collectively,
has worked well, as shewn by the results of inspections,
re-inspections, etc., tabulated throughout the Report.
It is again satisfactory to note that during 1908 in
but very few cases (0.2 per cent of the total notices served)
has it been found necessary to resort to legal proceedings
before the Court in connection with sanitary work carried
opt under the Public Health and Metropolis Management
Acts—24 summonses* in all.
Combined Drainage.
Many combined drainages have been reconstructed by the
Borough Council during 1908, such drainages being
"sewers," as the direct result of inspections carried out
by the Inspectors in the course of their daily routine duties.
