Theinspectors have during the year examined into the
condition of 1,477 houses under the direction of the officer
of health, the houses being mostly than, when deaths had
occurred ; they have also examined 668 other premises upon
various complaints, and for other purposes. The total
number of premises examined by them, therefore, has been
2,03.5. The owners of the properties upon which nuisances
have been discovered have had notices to remove them.
The inspectors concur in stating that the nuisances dis-
covered by them are not of the aggravated nature of those
of former years.
