NUISANCE REMOVAL ACT, 1855.
It is under the above Act that most of the sanitary improvements

the works executed were both numerous and varied in

In 19 instances the orders of the Vestry not having been

2, Cottage Court, Order to do necessary work in 14
Adelina Grove days.

50, Ocean Street Order to do the necessary work
in 14 days.

remain so at the present time. All the premises above mentioned
in Ocean Street, the nuisances were abated within the
time named in the order.
In Knott Street the various works which were necessary,
were carried out in all the houses except two, in respect to
which further proceedings will have to be taken.
It will be seen from the adjoining Table the Sanitary staff
