Section 17 of the 1930 Act.
Sixty-nine Notices were served under this Section during the year and
only in two cases were the Council called upon to execute the work owing to the
default of the persons having control of the premises, although such authority
was asked for in a number of instances.
One can say with pride that a rather large amount of work has been done
in premises as the result of the service of Notices under this Section—which
are accompanied by a Schedule of Defects itemised.
