    DRAINAGE. Your Surveyor superintends this work, except small altera- tions, and he has kindly supplied me with the following information, i.e., two new sewers have been put down by his department, 43 houses have been drained or re-sewered, 41 houses have been connected with new sewerage system, 40 new houses, shops, urinals, etc., have also been connecied therewith. All the old stone drains are being done away with as they are found and pipe drains put down instead. SMOKE NUISANCES. A great improvement has been made in the emission of dense black smoke. Thirty-eight observations were made during the year, and cautions were given to those offending. FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS. There are now 127 workshops and domestic workshops and 2 laundries and 01 factories on the register. To these places I have made 267 visits during the year. I have received through your Town Clerk notices of work requiring attention sent by His Majesty’s Factory Inspector, all of which have been dealt with. The work required to visit these places several times a year is very considerable, and I have done what I could find time to do ; but owing to the severe outbreak of Scarlet Fever during ihe last two months of the year J have not visited as many as I wished to do.
