APPENDIX XVII.

OFFICE OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Compilation of Property Rental 1965/66.

Mapping:

During the year 34 properties were surveyed and 39 were mapped, the counties concerned being Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Laois, Limerick, Meath, Monaghan, Roscommon, Sligo, Tipperary and Westmeath.

From the initiation of the property rental 1,560 properties have been surveyed and 1,500 have been mapped.

Legal:

The final legal work was done in respect of 9 properties in Counties Cavan, Clare, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon and Sligo.

Secretariat:

Of the properties surveyed 16 were finally dealt with for the purposes of the Rental. In addition the records of title, etc., were complied in respect of 25 other properties (short term tenancies, national schools, etc.). The properties concerned are situated in Counties Cavan, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Laois, Meath, Roscommon and Tipperary.

Perambulation:

It is hoped that the revised perambulation procedure (whereby each District Architect will retain in his District Office records of all properties in his District, to enable him to co-ordinate regular perambulations with routine maintenance inspections without being instructed on each occasion by Head Office), will be implemented in the Sligo Leitrim District before the end of the present (1966/67) financial year. In the meantime periodic inspection of all properties has continued.
