A total number of 1,576 houses have been systematically
inspected during 1912, and in 124, i.e., 7.9 per cent., a
result has been obtained from the test applied to the drains.
A total of 4,257 nuisances were found to exist in 1,342
houses (i.e., 85.2 per cent. of the total houses inspected)
but many were of a trifling nature and not in any sense
dangerous to the health of the inmates of the houses concerned.
