Wherever nuisances were found to exist preliminary
notices were immediately served upon the
persons responsible calling attention to the matter
and pointing out the necessary remedial works. If
these notices were not complied with reports were
made to the Sanitary Committee and the usual
statutory notices were authorised to be served.
In the majority of cases the notices were readily
complied with. In no case was it found necessary
to institute summary proceedings before the magistrates
to secure the abatement of any nuisance.
At the close of the year nearly all the notices
had been complied with, and in the remaining cases
the work is in hand.
