    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR FOR THE YEAR 196? Chief Public Health Inspector's Department, Municipal Buildings, CREVE. 30th September, I968. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Crewe. Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present my twentieth - and last - annual report on the work of the Crewe Public Health Inspector's Department. The work of the department has again progressed satisfactorily throughout the year and as is shown in the following report, has been concerned with maintenance of good living conditions by virtue of the abatement of nuisances, progress towards the demolition of unfit houses and the improvement of others. Food hygiene and Clean air have also again received major attention. It is pleasing to note that since 1955 satisfactory progress has been made with the clearance of unfit dwellings and work has commenced on the Council's fourth clearance programme, over l,^f00 houses having been so far dealt with. On the other side of the picture, the number of applications approved by the Council for improvement grants has now reached 300« Much effort has been put recently into this part of the department's activities from which it is hoped future benefit will accrue. The Council's fourth smoke control order was made on the 1st March, 1967* This brought the total of domestic premises in such orders to over 5*^+00 and represents some 30^ of the houses in the Borough.
