| 1 beg to refer to the increase in the number of Inspections made, compared with" last and previous years. An examination of the figures will shew that the time of myself and of Mr. Sexton has been fully occupied. | I must again state that every endeavour is made to make house to house visits, but the work entails so much time that it cannot be dealt with satisfactorily with the present staff. | The owner of the house mentioned in the last report, has at considerable expense, put the house in general repair ; yet there is still, the difficulty of dealing with the occupants. | No case of Infectious Disease occurred in either of these houses. The Owners are dil gent and attentive in keeping them in. order. | No case of Infectious Disease was met with on the Boats. The health of the Occupants and the general cleanliness were very good. | Included in the gang were some tent dwellers in a wretched unhealthy condition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
