The town surveyor or one of his assistants walks through the street, and with a piece of chalk legibly marks each house with its correct number, taking care to observe the precautions I have enumerated; having done this throughout its entire length, these numbers must be entered in a book with the name of the occupier written opposite to the number. Upon returning to the office the surveyor must then fill up and serve the necessary notice upon each of these occupiers, the following being given as a specimen of such notice:
Urban Sanitary Authority for the .
Town Surveyor’s Office, 188.
____________
I beg leave to give you notice, that the Town Council of , as the Urban Sanitary Authority, have approved of the number for the house in your occupation, in .
You are therefore required, within one week from the date of this notice [to obliterate the present number, and][124] to mark the said house with the number so approved of, and to renew the same from time to time in the case of its becoming obliterated.
A penalty of 40s. will be incurred in the event of default in compliance with this notice.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
