Acre Road.—178 and 180. These houses were inspected
by request of the owner, who has carried out the requirements
in a fairly satisfactory manner.

have been pulled down.

These houses are a row of very small houses built right
against the footpath. There is a step down into the sitting
room from the front door. They are not at all satisfactory

in fairly good structural repair. They have been subject to
cleansing and general repairs.

for, and was served on the owner January 27, 1914, and the
houses will probably be demolished.
These are very small dilapidated little houses. Some of
the walls are in a dangerous state.
