Sir,
I herewith present the Annual Statement, shewing the particulars
of the action taken in the suppression of Nuisances, &c., and various
improvements effected by this Department during the year 1901. For
the greater part of the year this Department had no separate Office and
we were working under many difficulties, but about the end of October
we moved across to Gothic Villa, and I am now doing all I can to put

effectual carrying out of our duties. Mr. A. W. Fraser, having been
appointed Assistant Sanitary Inspector, commenced his duties at the
beginning of September.
