INCREASE OF RENTS & MORTGAGE
INTERESTS ACTS.
Fifty applications were received during the year from
tenants for certificates under section 2, sub-section 2, of the
above Act.
The premises were subjected in each case to a careful
inspection, and the owners of the houses respectively were
invited to carry out any necessary items of repair.
With the exception of 7 cases, all the owners agreed to
carry out the repairs, and, therefore, only 7 certificates were
granted during the year.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
The following offensive trades are carried on in the
town:—
Leather Tanning.
Rag and Bone Dealers.
The premises are inspected at irregular intervals and
without notice to the occupiers. The tannery is maintained
in a satisfactory condition, and no complaints in respect
thereof have been received during the year.
CONCLUSION.
I again desire ±0 thank the Chairman and the members
of the Sanitary and Drainage Committee and the Corporation
generally for their kindly consideration and support during
the year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
HAROLD T. PERRY, A.R.San.I.,
Sanitary Inspector.
