Action taken under Public Health Acts or By-laws. Statistical
tables are set out on the following two pages shewing
the number of inspections made by the sanitary inspectors
and the number of nuisances abated. 3,446 intimation
notices and 1,262 statutory notices were served during the
year. These compare with 4,191 and 1,294, respectively,
in 1922. There were 165 cases in which the owners neglected
to comply with the statutory notices and these were reported
to the Town Clerk for legal proceedings. The Town Clerk
followed his usual procedure of writing a letter reminding
the owner that he was in default in not complying with the
notices and requesting his attention forthwith and that in
the event of his continued neglect a summons would be
issued. It was found necessary to issue 39 summons (compared
with 6 in 1922) the details of which are set out in Table
No. 67.
