    COUNCIL HOUSES. Reg'ular visits are paid to the Council’s Housing* Estates ior the detection of defects and supervision of repair works. HOUSING (RURAL WORKERS) ACT, 1926. During* the year applications for grants in respect of four cottages were approved by the Devon County Council, bring¬ ing* the total number of cottages reconditioned under the Act in this District to 40. Advice as to the works required has been given in a number of cases and 10 further applications have been approved since the end of the year under review. With the carrying out of the works of reconditioning in different parts of the District, interest in the scheme has been maintained and a number of enquiries have been received which will, it is hoped, result in further applications being made for grants. My thanks are clue to the members of the Council for their support during the 3^ear. A great deal of assistance and advice is given to me by the Clerk, to whom I should like to express my thanks, and to the other members of the Council’s staff. Messrs. Madge and Holmes have given me every assistance in carrying on the work of the Department, and I thank them for their co-operation. I am Your obedient Servant
