visits, examined 2,791 carcases, and secured the surrender of 35
parcels of diseased organs.
The sanitary condition of the slaughter-houses is on the whole

I visited the 44 bakehouses in the District, of which 42 are

HOUSING.
The regulations issued by the Local Government Board under
Section 17 (1) Housing, Town-Planning, etc., Act, 1909, are receiving
close attention. A list was prepared of houses and streets, the
early inspection of which was, in my opinion, desirable, those being
first selected which had not been inspected for some time, and where
there was evidence that attention was again needed.
The following are the particulars required by Article 5 of these
Regulations to be included in my Report:—
Number of dwelling-houses inspected 684
Number of houses considered on inspection to be in
a condition so dangerous as to be unfit for
human habitation 12
Number of houses closed and demolished without
orders 8
Number of houses closed 4
Number of houses closed and demolished following
closing orders 0
Number of representations made to the Local
Authority with a view to the making of Closing
Orders 4
Number of Closing Orders made 4
Number of dwelling-houses where defects were
remedied without service of Closing Orders 558
Number of houses which, after making of Closing
Orders, were put in a fit state 10
In addition to all this work done under these Regulations, the
following number of houses have also been inspected during the
year:—
On account of infectious disease 489
On account of complaint by occupants and otherwise 1,031
Total 1,520
making a gross total of house inspections for the year of 2,204, which
gives a percentage of 19 per cent. of the total number of houses in
the District. There will be found in the statement of the Report
of the Inspector of Nuisances required to be included by Article
