SUMMARY OF SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS.
Below will be found a rather formidable list of works
carried out by owners of property in the Borough at the
request, or on the advice, of the Corporation. The works
represent the expenditure of a very considerable sum of
money. Add to this the cost of works which are carried
out voluntarily without reference to the Corporation, and
it will be seen that maintenance costs of property aggregate
a much larger sum than is generally realised. As far as
possible all works are supervised during progress. This
surveillance is more in the interests of the owner than for
any benefit the Corporation may derive from it. Unfortunately
it is not always known when works are in progress
and occasionally the work is not inspected until completion.
