(i) Sanitary Nuisances and Contraventions of Sanitary By-laws:- Appendix B shows the total number of nuisances reported and the action taken to obtain compliance and the amount of fines. Of the total number of nuisances reported in which action was taken 50% were abated after receipt of a letter. In 354 cases a legal notice failed to produce compliance. Of the summonses which followed 314 secured convictions, 12 were discharged, 1 abandoned and 28 withdrawn.
Appendix C shows the nuisances in respect of which action was taken.
Appendix D (i) shows the Health Districts from which these nuisances were reported and Appendix D (ii) gives details of all prosecutions and amount of fines inflicted.
(ii) Building Nuisances:- Appendix D (i) line 1 shows by districts the number of nuisances under Part III of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance reported by this Department to the Building Authority for action. These are additional to those referred to in paragraph (1) above.
(iii) Miscellaneous Improvements:- Appendix D (i) lines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, show miscellaneous improvements effected by District Inspectors in their districts. Lines 9, 10, 11, 12, show the number of houses demolished and erected. The great majority of these are tenement houses.
(iv) House Cleansing:- The routine work under the by-laws for the Prevention and Mitigation of Epidemic Disease was carried out during the year. Appendix E shows the number of floors cleansed in the various districts and as compared with the last two years.
House cleansing was carried out on only four mornings a week from 1st February 1927 to 30th September 1927 owing to shortage of staff and for five mornings a week for the remainder of the year. Appendix F shows approximately the total number of Chinese houses liable for cleansing.
(v) Limewashing:- The usual limewashing required by the Domestic Cleanliness and Ventilation by-laws was carried out during the year. Appendix G shows the number of floors limewashed. The difference between this total and the total in Appendix F is due partly to exemptions, some floors being new and not requiring limewashing. A certain number has also been carried over into 1928.
