of numerous sanitary orders from time to time, and
works completed, have lessened many dangers and
discomforts that would have threatened the health of
the families of the working people, whilst landlords of
houses let out in weekly holdings, become aware of the
visits of the Sanitary Inspector, and not only attend
to matters before hand, but express a willingness to
remove any local causes of unhcalthiness that are
pointed out to them.
Many, if not all of these streets have, by means of
inspection, undergone a very marked change with
regard to the character of people who are living in them.
Landlords get a better class of tenant in streets known
to be kept in good sanitary order. There is none of that
absolute squalid misery in any of them, such as
might have been seen in Church Place, Dudley Street,
North Wharf Road, &c., a few years back. Overcrowding
cases are becoming more and more rare in
all parts of the parish.
The following Cases of Overcrowding have been
discovered and abated during 1873:—
White Lion Place . .4 adults and 2 children containing 1,100 cubic
