and 30 plans for the alteration and reconstruction of drains in
existing buildings have been received and approved.
Revenue Act, 1903.
No certificate under the provisions of the above-mentioned
Act was applied for during 1919.
Smoke Nuisances.
During the year observations were made in 3 instances, and
it was found necessary to serve notices.
Owing to the difficulties created by the war the routine
inspection by the Sanitary Inspectors of factory chimneys was
largely in abeyance, and, pending a return to more normal conditions,
it was not considered practicable to carry out the strict
procedure of pre-war activity in this direction. Very few
complaints were received during the year.
