ANNUAL REPORT
of the
Inspector of Nuisances
for the year ending 1905.
Orsett Rural Sanitary Authority.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have much pleasure in submitting my Annual
Report for the year ending December 31st, 1905.
NUISANCES.
I have received during the past year eighty
complaints of nuisances, and have found without
complaints—one hundred and thirty-eight.
I have served one hundred and nine notices for
the abatement of these nuisances, all of which duly
received attention, and the others have been abated
at once without the necessity of serving notices.
HOUSE INSPECTION.
Four hundred and thirty houses have been inspected,
and one hundred and seven have been
fumigated after cases of infectious diseases.
Four cases of overcrowding have been abated.
