I am pleased to state that there was, on the whole, very
little opposition on the part of property owners in carrying
out your Council's requirements, and it is very gratifying to
he able to report that, despite the contentious nature of a
large number of the cases dealt with, especially those relating
to combined drainage, it was unnecessary to institute legal
proceedings, either to enforce the abatement of any nuisance,
or to recover expenses incurred for works executed in default.
