During the twelve months ending the 25th March,
1877, a considerable amount of sanitary work was
performed by the Sanitary Inspectors, as will be seen
by reference to Table V. But, owing to a temporary
reduction in the number of Inspectors from four to
three, and to the prevalence of Small Pox, which
necessitated some re-arrangement of duties during the
0
months of January, February, and March of the
present year, there is an obvious falling off in the
amount of work done, regarded from a numerical
point of view.

Return of Works carried out from the 26th March, 1876, to the 25th March, 1877, inclusive.
