In the event of the old number with which any premises were marked not being obliterated by the occupier, the following notice may be served:
Urban Sanitary Authority for the .
Town Surveyor’s Office, 188.
____________
It has been reported to the Town Council that you have neglected to obliterate the old number of your premises, No. Street, after receiving notice of a new number being allotted to such premises by the Town Council, whereby you have incurred a penalty of 40s.
The duplication of numbers in the same street was found to be the occasion of so much inconvenience, that the Council were obliged to re-number the street in question, and it is manifest that if a number allotted to another house is retained by you, the inconvenience sought to be removed will still remain.
I am therefore instructed to inform you that unless the old number of your premises is obliterated within seven days from the date of this notice, proceedings will be taken against you for the recovery of the penalty incurred.
Yours faithfully,
_________________________
Town Surveyor.
Of course, if nothing is done after service of this second notice, it only remains to summon the offender as provided by the sections of the Act, which I have given in the early part of this chapter.
