A NUISANCE IN BELIUTOS. TERRACE.
A report by the Inspector of Nuisancos of an inspection made of the houses in Balilinn Terrace was laid on the tabia. The inspection was mede in consequence of complaints by two of the householders. The report stated that there was coneisleraldo accumulation of boase refuse oberved at the buok of some of the premises. It seemed alaar that the saving of the notices to inspect the promises had acted as a warning to householders that their servants required to he looked after, and the result was that for the time being the whole terrace was in a fairly clean condition. There was a minute by Dr. Caotlie on the report to the effect that the enquiry was much called for, aud cas by Mr. Frauss king that the matter be brought before the Board.
M. FRANCIS said he bad asked to bare this matter mentioned at the meeting of the Board to learn on what grounds notice had been given to the whole of the residents in the terrace and all the houses iuspooter).
