refused.
Housing.
The housing accommodation of the District is at present
satisfactory. The houses or cottages are dotted about in
groups, with plenty of space, back and front. There ate no
"back-to-back" houses, alleys, or slums. Consequently

want of personal cleanliness in the occupants themselves.
Any other have been remedied as required by notice from the
Sanitary Inspector.
The supervision over the erection of new houses has been
very carefully carried out by your Surveyor as is shewn by
his reports from time to time as to the attempt in several
instances to deviate from the original plan of the building
submitted and approved of by the Council, and the refusal
of the Council on several occasions to pass plans for buildings
contravening the bye-law on the subject made in 1901.
Town Planning.
The Council at their meeting on July 3rd resolved that
the Town Planning Committee, consisting of the whole Council

the year. At the meeting on August 8th it was resolved
to recommend that the Council should, after two months,
consider the application of the Local Government Board
for permission to prepare a Town Planning Scheme for the
whole or certain parts of the district. This was agreed to
at the Council meeting on September 5th and the neighbouring
