damaged by enemy action. At 670 premises, defects were
found and dealt with.
Sub-letting is still increasing as the housing
shortage becomes more acute.
Houses occupied by evacuees have been visited from
time to time.
GENERALLY.
All urgent matters in connection with infectious
diseases, verminous premises, drainage defects, factories,
complaints etc. have received prompt attention, in addition
