    CANAL BOATS. Traffic on the Aylesbury Arm of the canal was negligible during the year and only two boats were inspected. Mainly due to the very wet and dull Summer, no complaints of weed were received during the year. The general work of the Department is reflected in the following table of inspections made, complaints received and investigated and notices served: — Drainage Inspections 253 Miscellaneous Sanitary Visits ... 225 Moveable Dwellings 37 Infected House Visits 25 Smoke Observations 8 Marine Stores 5 Complaints received and investigated ... 155 Nuisances found 86 Nuisances abated 67 Statutory Notices served under Health Acts Public 16 Informal Notices served under Health Acts Public 37 Letters received • • • 1,117 Letters sent 698 Interviews 343 Mr. D. Rixon was appointed as Additional Sanitary Inspector in June and has given very satisfactory service. D. Keen is continuing his studies and hopes to take the examination this vear. D. Wells has attained the age of 18 and will probably be called for National Service in the near future, which will necessitate the appointment of a temporary Junior Clerk. I would again like to express my thanks to members of the Council for their continued help and encouragement, to members of my staff for their loyal co-operation and to my fellow officers for their advice and assistance. I am, Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors, Your obedient Servant, W. EWART RUSE, m.s.i.a., A.R.san.i,, Borough Sanitary Inspector.
