The number of premises on which nuisances were outstanding
at the end of 1924 was 463. To these another 472 premises whereat
nuisances were recorded in 1925 were added, giving a total of
935 premises. Of these 472 had the nuisances remedied, leaving
4G3 premises at which nuisances still existed at the end of the year.
During the year, nuisances at 14 houses were reported to the
Health Committee, which added to the 38 brought forward from
1924, made a total of 52. Before asking the authority to serve
statutory notices, the premises are inspected by the Medical Officer
of Health and Chief Sanitary Inspector. Statutory notices were
authorised and served in most of these cases, and by the end of
the year, the nuisances were remedied in 23 of the houses, and in
4 cases the major portion of the work was completed and it was
resolved to take no further action with regard to that still outsanding,
leaving 25 cases to be carried forward to 1926.
