To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,—
I beg to submit my Seventh Annual Report,
showing the Sanitary Inspections made by me
during the year ending December 31st, 1902,
together with particulars of nuisances abated
and improvements effected in the District in
consequence of such inspections.
Abatement of Nuisances.
During the year a systematic inspection of
the District has been made, in order to comply
with the General Orders of the Local Government
Board, and Section 92 of the Public Health Act,
1875, which renders such inspection compulsory.
In all 320 houses and premises have been
inspected, these including houses from which
complaints of nuisances have been received, and
others in which cases of infectious disease have
occurred.
House to house inspections have been made
in King Charles' Crescent, Mayberry Place,
Vale Road and German Place.
Notices Served.
As the result of these inspections, 77
preliminary notices were served, most of which
were promptly complied with.
