Inspection of District.
Systematic inspection of the District has been
made in accordance with the General Orders of the
Local Government Board, and Section 92 of the
Public Health Act, 1875.
In this way manyr nuisances have been discovered,
which probably would never have been
brought to the notice of the Public Health Authority
nor even of the persons whose health was endangered
by their continuance.
In all some 2319 visits were paid to premises in
connection with the work of the department, and
include visits to Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops,
ordinary inspections, visits to houses from which
complaint of a nuisance had been received, and to
houses in which cases of infectious disease had
occurred; visits to works in progress, inspection of
Bakehouses, Workshops, etc.
In one instance admission to premises for the
purpose of examining as to the existence of a nuisance
was refused by the occupier. After giving notice as
provided by the Act, application was made to the
Magistrates for an order to enter the premises.
The order was granted together with 10s. costs.
