The work has been carried out in Medhurst road.
Apportionments on the actual cost of paving, &c.,
Mansford street and Strahan road, have been prepared,
and the differences between the estimated and actual
cost returned to the owners.
In several cases it became necessary to take proceedings
at the Police Court to recover the amounts of the
apportionments.
During the year the sum of £555 0s. 2d. has been
collected and paid in to the credit of the "New Streets
Account."
INSANITARY DWELLINGS.
During the year the Medical Officer of Health has
condemned a considerable number of houses as being
"in a condition or state dangerous to health, so as to
be unfit for human habitation," and recommended that
they should be dealt with under the provisions of
the "Artizans and Labourers' Dwellings Acts"
(commonly known as Torrens' Acts).
A number of these reports have been from time to
time referred to your Survoyor for consideration and
report.
