HOUSING OF THE WORKING CLASSES.
No house has been condemned, during 1909, under the
Housing of the Working Classes Acts, but in this connection
it must remembered that, in respect of dwelling
houses, many notices have been served under the Public
Health Act, and that, had these notices not been complied
with, proceedings would have been taken in the usual way
for the closing of the houses. The Housing Acts are only
brought into use in extreme cases.
BAKEHOUSES.
There are 214 Bakehouses (135 above ground and 79*
underground) situated within the Borough of Lambeth, and
these have been inspected during 1909, and the necessary
annual white-washing and cleaning carried out.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
During 1909, no nuisance has been reported in connection
with the 6 Offensive Trades, which exist in the Borough of
Lambeth, and which are now under the supervision of the
Borough Council :—
* 72 have been certified as " suitable," for occupation as underground
bakehouses.
