Sanitary Conveniences.
These remain the same as last year.
Offensive Trade.
We still have one that of a bone boiler, but complaints
have not been made during the year as hithertofore.
Housing.
Information and particulars required by Article V. of
the Housing (Inspection of District) Regulations, 1910, can
be seen by referring to Tables T. of the Middlesex County
Council Sanitary Work appended hereto.
There were no closing orders issued during the year.
There is no evidence of overcrowding, but a great deal
of the Cottage Property in the District is dilapidated from
age, and again, in some instances quite new houses are now
being let to more than one family who are more noted for
want of personal cleanliness than otherwise. These cases
all require and receive the constant attention of your Sanitary'
Inspector.
In conclusion, Gentlemen, I beg to thank you and my
Brother Officials for the assistance I have always received
in carrying out my duties.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE HOPE.
