Miscellaneous.
Sixteen houses have had the space under the
floors concreted to prevent dampness.
Fifty-five dirty houses have been cleansed and
whitewashed.
Four stables have been provided with manure
receptacles, built in accordance with the Bye-laws.
Thirteen offensive accumulations have been
removed.
Two dirty vards have been cleansed.
Six nuisances, arising from animals being kept
in an insanitary condition, have been abated.
Overcrowding of Dwelling Houses.
During the year three houses were found to be
badly overcrowded, so as to constitute a nuisance
likely to be injurious to health.
In each case the nuisance was abated on notice
being served.
Paving of Yards.
The carrying out of this work has again received
considerable attention. Under clause 89 of
the Council's Bye-laws the yards of 73 houses have
been paved, wholly or in part, with Portland cement
concrete, or other suitable hard impervious material.
