INSPECTION OF THE DISTRICT AND ABATEMENT
OF NUISANCES.
During the year no less than 1,452 complaints have been received
and dealt with, and as a direct consequence it has only been
possible to carry out house-to-house inspection at 464 houses.
The effect of the Increase of Rents and Mortgage Interest
(Restrictions) Act, 1920, has been to increase the number of complaints.
The Act has, however, proved useful, necessary repairs
usually being put in hand when the landlord has been informed
of the issue of a certificate.
Though all possible means have been adopted to persuade
offenders against the Public Health Acts to comply with notices, it
was necessary to take out summonses in 27 instances. The following
is a list of proceedings taken:—
