It is probable that there will be sufficient space to continue
dumping on Brown's brickfield until the middle of 1935.

SUB-LETTING IN COUNCIL HOUSES.
The terms of the agreement under which the Council's house
are let does not allow the tenant to sublet without obtaining permission.
During the year I have continued to consider and determine
the cases in which sub-letting was to be allowed in Council houses,
in accordance with the Resolution passed by the Council on December
13th, 1927.
The following work was carried out:—
Total number of applications dealt with 100
Number granted permission to sub-let 84
Number refused permission 16
Number of letters sent 275
Number of visits made by Sanitary Inspectors 153
As a result 153 visits wore made by the Sanitary Inspectors
during 1933, as compared with 240 in 1932, and 275 letters were
written as compared with 398 in 1932.
I have tried on every occasion to deal sympathetically with
these applications to sub-let, and whenever it has been possible to
grant such permission without detriment to the health of the tenants,
or the property of the Council, I have done so.
