COMMON LODGING HOUSES.
These houses are controlled by the London County Council under bylaws
which give that body powers of inspection both by day and night. They
are licensed annually, and therefore their keepers or owners are more
amenable to control, and obey the by-laws more carefully than do the owners
of any other class of lodgings.
They number 46 in Islington, of which 36 are licensed for men, 8 for
women, and 2 for married couples.
