SECTION IV.
HOUSING AND TOWN-PLANNING.
Building By-laws. The Council's "By-laws with respect to the New
Streets and Buildings" were revised in 1904, and sealed by the Local Government
Board on the 8th June, 1904. Any contraventions of By-law 113 are
reported to the Plans Committee by the Architect, and all correspondence and
particulars connected with the contraventions are laid before them. The
