| Name of Property. | Sanitary Improvements required. |
|---|---|
| Linsdell's Court | The surface of the court has been made up under the 150th section of the Public Health Act, 1875, and the houses are now let at a rental of 4s. per week inclusive. This property has again become most insanitary. |
| Orchard Avenue | The houses have been put in good repair and are now all occupied. |
| Morgan's Yard | The sewer has been relaid and ventilated And the court paved. Houses require cleaning. |
| Morgan's Quay | The main sewer has been relaid and ventilated, and the road made up. The paving at the back of the houses has been laid. The yard needs scavenging. The back ways have been separated with good effect. |
| Factory Road and Emily Cottages | These drains have been re-constructed and ventilated. The houses have been modernised, thoroughly cleansed and renovated. The back yards have been concreted and divided off in Factory Road. In Emily Cottages the back yards have been concreted but not divided. |
| Park Terrace | New water service has been laid on. Property in good order. |
| Albert Terrace | The sewers belonging to these properties need ventilating and re-construcing. It would probably prove a great advantage if the backs ways to these proper-lies were abolished. |
| Collier Row |
