608 inspections were made and 227 Notices were served. In a
number of houses it is found necessary to serve two Notices, one
on the owner for defects in sanitary fittings, etc., and one on
the occupier for dirty cisterns, yards, w.c., basins, etc., or for
keeping animals under such conditions as to be a nuisance.
Therefore, the proportion of Notices served to the number of
houses inspected cannot be taken as an indication of the proportion
of insanitary houses found.
