2. Referring first to Table A. It will be seen that of the one hundred and ninety eight (198) houses incomplete at the close of 1891, eighty (80) have been finished and the plans for seventy- four (74) cancelled, leaving forty-four (44) to carry forward to 1893.
3. Of the six hundred and ninety-three (693) houses, plans for the re-drainage of which were received and duly passed in 1892, four hundred and ninety-seven (497) are finished, and the plans of thirty-two (32) have been cancelled leaving one hundred and sixty-four (164) to carry forward, which with the forty-four (44) of 1891 makes a total of two hundred and eight (208).
4. The drainage plans of a large number of houses have been cancelled during the past year; these have in almost every instance been those of new buildings and more than two-thirds () were deposited during or previous to the year 1891. They have been cancelled in consequence of fresh plans being deposited chiefly owing to alterations in the building plans.
