Gentlemen,
Re 4, Exmouth Court.
I have considered the report of the Medical Officer
of Health referred to me at your meeting held on the 7th
day of May, in respect of the house and premises known
as No. 4, Exmouth Court, under the provisions of the
Artizans and Labourers' Dwellings' Act, 1868.
The complaint contained in the said report of the
Medical Officer of Health is—
That the walls of the ground floor are dirty and
dilapidated.
That there is no proper ventilation under the floor
boards.
That the floor boards are defective.
That the staircase and roof are defective.
The cause of the complaint of the Medical Officer of
Health is the age and natural decay of the house and the
manner in which it was originally constructed.
The remedy for the evil complained of is to clean off
and repair the walls of the ground floor.
To make proper ventilation beneath the floor boards
and to repair such boards.
To repair the woodwork of staircase.
To strip and repair the roof, and make good all gutters
and down-pipes.
It these works be executed it will not be necessary to
demolish any part of the said premises in order to remove
the complaint of the Medical Officer of Health.
I am, &c.,
(Signed) JNO. M. KNIGHT.
