Gentlemen,
Re 5, Exmouth Court.

of Health referred to me at your meeting held on the
7th day of May, in respect of the house and premises
known as 5, Exmouth Court, under the provisions of the
Artizans and Labourers' Dwellings' Act, 1868.
I he complaint contained in the said report of the
Medical Officer of Health is—
That the walls are defective and dilapidated.
That the floor boards are defective.
That there is no ventilation under the floor boards.
That the roof is defective.
That the staircase is defective.
The cause of the complaint contained in the said report
of the Medical Officer of Health is first the age and
general decay of the materials of which the house is
built, and second its original defective construction.
The remedy for the evil complained of in the report
of the Medical Officer of Health is to cut out all the
defective parts of the walls, and to reinstate same with
new brickwork properly pointed.
To provide new floor boards in the place of those
which are defective.
To strip the roof and make good the parts which are
defective.
To repair the woodwork of staircase.
If these works be executed it will not be necessary to
demolish any part of the said premises, in order to
remove the evil complained of in the said report ot the
Medical Officer of Health.
I am, &c.,
