    MISCELLANEOUS. The sanitary circumstances of tho Borough underwent practically no change during the year. The usual routine inspections were carried out by tho Sanitary Staff, and the position at the end of the year was entirely satisfactory. SECTION D, HOUSING. There was little or no systematic house to house inspections during 1943, owing to the lack of staff generally.
