DRAINAGE.
The drainage of 13 houses has been reconstructed. In some
cases the drains formed portions of combined systems of drainage,
and in such instances the work has been done by the Council's
workmen and the expenses incurred have been recovered from the
owners.
MEAT AND FOOD INSPECTION.
Owing to insufficient staff in the early part of the year and
abnormal post-war conditions, inspections of traders' premises
have not been so frequent as desirable; the generally good condition
of these has, however, been fairly well maintained.
