Twenty-three Statutory Notices have been served, and I am
glad to report that only one summons has had to be issued.
On outbreaks of Infectious Disease, all drains were examined
and disinfected.
The Sewers have been periodically examined and flushed.
The scavenging of the District has not been satisfactory, but
now we have got a New Dust Cart no trouble should arise.
Tabulated below is a list of Nuisances visited and abated and
other matters in connection with the Sanitary work of the District.
I remain,
Your obedient Servant,
W. LOUIS CARR,
Sanitary Inspector.
