of a total of 5,529 which have been inspected.
Drainage Work.—As is naturally to be expected, the need for
reconstruction or serious repair of house drainage becomes gradually
less in amount year by year owing to the newer houses having been
built under more exact requirements and supervision, and the number
reconstructed during the year is 171 as compared with 247 last year.
Owing to the various legal decisions under the provisions of Sec. 41
of the Public Health Act, 1875, as amended by Sec. 19 of the Public
Health Amendment Act, 1890, in the case of 13 blocks, comprising
38 separate premises, the main drains have been reconstructed by the
Council at the public expense.
These were situated in the following streets :—
4 and 6, West Street.
27 and 29, Collingwood Road.
14 to 20, Collard Road.
29 and 81, Colebrook Road.
4, 6 and 8, Willow Walk.

Notwithstanding occasional differences of opinion between your
officers and various owners as to the respective liability of the owners
and the Council, little friction or delay has occurred in the remaining
instances. In addition to single houses the undermentioned blocks of
houses have been dealt with.
