Nuisances.—In the following summary some idea of the amount of work
done in relation to nuisances is given. For details of other works carried out by

The total number of complaints of nuisance received was 2,608, as against
2,175 in 1928. The majority of these complaints were made by the inspectors
themselves, though a certain number came from other members of the Council's
staff, from voluntary health workers, etc. In respect of nuisances, 142 statutory
notices were issued, as against 140 in 1928.
