Sir,
I beg to present to you my Ninth Annual
Report of the work carried out in the Sanitary
Department, during the year ending December 31st,
1904.
Complaints.
During the year 105 complaints were received
relating to nuisances. Each complaint was duly
registered in the Complaint Book and promptly

thereto.
Inspection of District.
As in previous years, a systematic inspection of
the district has been made, in order to comply with
the General Orders of the Local Government
Board and Sec. 92 of the Public Health Act, 1875.

received, and in which cases of infectious disease
have occurred; also visits to works in progress, inspection
of dairies, cowsheds, bakehouses, slaughterhouses,
