Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909.
Owing to a number of houses, which had been already
inspected under the Inspection of District Regulations,
being found on re-inspection to have had nothing
done to them to remedy the defects found, I was instructed
to re-inspect them, and where possible to serve

Act, 1875.
The following is the result of those inspections:—
