Outworkers.
Lists of outworkers residing in this district have been received
in 31 instances from other authorities. A record is kept of their
addresses, these lists are referred to upon rcceipt of a notification
of infectious disease in order to stop any work being sent to an
infected house, but in no instance has a case occurred in the house
of an outworker.
All the premises have been inspected and found in a satisfactory
condition.
Van Dwellers.
Van Dwellers have again given considerable trouble
during the year. As many as 81 vans had to be removed
and on several occasions I had to forcibly remove them with
the assistance of the police. These people will always
annoy us until the vacant land is built upon, or fenced in.
The Council have, I believe, power, under the Act which came into
force on the 1st January, 1909, to call upon the owners to fence in
vacant building land.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops.
There are now only three Cowsheds in the district, accommodating
about 80 cows, they have been frequently visited ;
