outstanding at the end of the year; that with this
exception the whole of this large number of Notices
had been complied with; and that in only 55 cases
was it necessary to summon those on whom
orders had been served. But further, as regards the
Summonses, it will be seen that by far the larger
number were taken out by Inspector Fisher. These
were mainly in reference to the disinfection of houses,
a duty devolving especially on that Inspector, and
one which demands speedy compliance. Tf deduction
be made of summonses in relation to this matter, it
will be acknowledged, I think, that a great deal of
sanitary work has been done with very little need of
appeal to the law. And I am bound to say, as I have
had occasion to say not unfrequently before, that we
have, on the whole, to thank the landlords of small
property for their ready co-operation with us in
matters affecting the sanitary interests of the Parishioners.
In conclusion, I have to thank the Vestry for the
kindness which I have always received from them,
and to record my satisfaction with the manner in
which the Inspectors discharge the important duties
entrusted to them.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. S. BRISTOWE.
