Sanitary Administration.
In the majority of cases the defects remedied were of a
structural kind.
226 houses were cleansed, 37 yards were paved or repaired,
45 roofs and eaves gutters were repaired, 25 cases of dampness
were remedied, and 4 cases of overcrowding abated.
The work of reparation has been for the most part supervised
by the Assistant Inspector, whose practical knowledge of building
and plumbing has been of much service in this branch of the work
of the Health Department.
It appears strange that the Sanitary Inspectors, who, by
virtue of their duties have a more intimate knowledge of the
requirements of the working classes than any other officials, are
not asked for any information when plans are drawn up, by the
L.A., for workmen's dwellings.
