COMPLAINT INSPECTIONS.
Complaints were registered, alleging nuisances in respect
of 211 premises. Each matter was promptly investigated
and reported on in the Report Book (with all other matters
requiring report or action), for consideration by the Health
Committee, and for authority to serve the necessary notices,
etc.
The respective premises were afterwards revisited (often
frequently), and kept under observation until the notices were
satisfactorily complied with.
HOUSE TO HOUSE INSPECTION.
This branch of the work has not received so much attention
as in previous years, only 280 cottages having been inspected.
This is due to the transient shortness of staff, and to the
increase of Infectious Disease work, for which less pressing
duties are put aside.
This is not a mere inspection only, but includes the testing
of the drains of each house with the smoke machine, as well
as investigation for other purposes.
