Six hundred and sixty-one housee have been completed

The total number of applications before the Council were

Twenty plans were submitted for laying out new roads. The
work of supervision entailed by these operations was most
carefully and thoroughly carried out in the Engineer and

As in previous years, the sanitary fittings, drainage and
structures were carefully inspected by the Building Inspectors
before being passed, and the drainage and sanitary work was
of the most modern type.
