HOUSING.
Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909.
Housing (Inspection of District) Regulations, 1910.
The procedure as set out in the Regulations has been
followed during the year as in previous years.
The list of houses, the early inspection of which is desirable,
is being gradually worked through, but certain properties are added
to the list from time to time.
At each meeting of the Authority, the records are taken into
consideration and instructions are given as to the action to be
taken in each case.
As in previous years, the houses inspected came within
either of the following categories:—
1. Houses with sanitary defects.
2. Houses unfit for human habitation.
