rather than dec1:l ne to acce t current applications.

~ay!
1st October! 1956.
SURVEY OF THE HOUSllTG PROGRANIME
In this report an attempt has been made to carr.y out a
general review of the achievements of the Council in the discharge of its functions under the Labourers' Acts 1883 to 1956;
to assess the housinp, needs of the rural areas of the county
at thi s date and to relate the existine requirements of the
rural community a t the present time to the methods which the
Council has traditionally fr.opted to meet the se requirements.
This review has afforded an opportunity of a ge neral survey in
relation to costs of construction, problems of repa ir and the
adequacy of existinr, l evels of rents.
It is considered that
it will also be of benefit to inform the Council of the proe ress
and procedure in r e lation to the vesting of cottages and to
outline briefly the matters of finance which are of such
importance in any discussion on this major function of the Council.
Tho statutor.y powers of the Council for the construction of
houses in rural areas are contained in the Labourers' Acts 1883 to
1956.
The purpose of these ._cts was to provide sui t able housing
a ccommoda ti on in rural a reas for a,:sricul tural workers living in
unfit and overcrowded conditions throur;hout the country.
In the operation of the early t cts the classes rehoused
did not extend beyond the genuine rural l abourer workine for
hire on the l and.
By successive statutes the scope of the
Lcts was e nla rged and the County Council as successor to the
Hural District Councils has now power to provide houses for
all persons who would in an urban area be eligible applicants

The Factories Act, 1955, has now corrO into operation and it is
expected that it will involve the Council with some expenditure to
comply with its provisions as far as quarries are concerned.
With regard to Wexford Bridge, delivery of essential materials
is proceeding as planned and work is in prr)gress to the construction
of the Pier No . 1 from Ferrybank side.
A new type of macadam was used for the first time this year on
the road between Tagoat and Greenfield in Wexford South area and has
just been finished.
The aggregate for the macadam was taken from
the sea shore at Ro~ronstown.
While the work is of an experimental
Mture , present indications are that it will be satisfactory.
I
should like to arrange for an inspection of the work by the
Councillors , particularly the Wexford District Committee whenever
it would suit them.

accompanying expense.
However, just a bout 114 miles were done
with very little obvious damage by adverse weather conditions.
The additionaJ sprayer ordered by the Council was not r e ceived in
time to put it into op eration this season.
It will, however 9 be
