(k) General Matters
It is worthy of note that certain provisions of the
Public Health Act, 1875, and the Housing of the
Working Classes Act, 1890, which I have repeatedly
referred to as the authority for the systematic inspection
of this district as carried out for some time past
in compliance with the instructions of the Council,
are reiterated by Section 17, Sub-Section 1, of the
Housing, Town Planning, &c., Act, 1909, which is as
follows:—
17.—(1) It shall be the duty of every local authority
" within the meaning of Part 2 of the principal Act to
" cause to be made from time to time inspection of their
" district, with a view to ascertain whether any dwelling"
house therein is in a state so dangerous or injurious to
" health as to be unfit for human habitation, and for that
" purpose it shall be the duty of the local authority, and of
" every officer of the local authority, to comply with such
" regulations and to keep such records as may be
" prescribed by the Board.
On the issue of the regulations referred to in the
sub-section, it was only necessary to re-arrange the
special registers of inspection to precisely comply with
the requirements of the Local Government Board.
