Notes Upon Sanitary Work Performed During
the Year.
During the year 1903, 1,646 premises were inspected for
conditions injurious or dangerous to health, and insanitary
conditions varying in their nature from comparatively trivial
to grave were discovered in 384 instances.
Of the number, only 134 inspections were the result of
personal complaints, a circumstance showing the necessity
of some house to house inspection from time to time.
