In addition, 16 houses in the Pears Road Clearance Area and 15 unfit houses

each case the owner has had full opportunity to submit to the Council any proposals
for their retention and to object to the action taken by the Council.
The Housing Department is kept informed of adverse housing conditions coming
to the notice of the Health Department and assistance is given in the assessment of
applications for re-housing where priority on medical grounds is claimed.
During the year the Council approved expenditure as under:-
(a) advances of £552,877 under the Housing (Financial Provisions)
Act, 1958 in relation to 347 houses.
(b) improvement grants of £4,400 2s 6d under section 30 of the
Housing (Financial Provisions) Act, 1958 in relation to
