HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
For dealing with the cleanliness and general sanitary condition
of this class of property by-laws have been made under
the Public Health (London) Act 1891 to apply to any house or
part of a house which is let in lodgings or occupied by members
of more than one family, except where the rent or charge payable
by each lodger, and exclusive of any charge for the use by such
lodger of any furniture, is at a rate of seven shillings and sixpence
per week or upwards, or where the rent or charge payable
by each lodger, and inclusive of any charge for the use by such
lodger of any furniture, is at the rate of ten shillings per week
or upwards.
Obviously this definition would include most of the houses
in the Parish, and having regard to the fact that the by-laws
require, inter alia, the lime-whiting and cleansing every April of
all walls and ceilings, it follows that nearly the whole of the
Parish would require to be inspected during that month, which
would be absolutely impracticable.
There are however, houses in this Parish to which the bylaws
advisedly apply, and the following have been placed upon
the register:—
Nos. 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 33, 37, 39, 41,
43, 45 and 47 Orville Road.
Nos. 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 Green Lane.
Nos. 2, 6, 8 and 10 Wayland Road.
No. 47 Beaufoy Road.
Nos. 29, 31, 35 and 39 Wycliffe Road.
It was proposed to register Nos. 14 to 36 Lombard Dwellings
and the necessary preliminary steps were taken in the matter,
but acting upon the advice of the Solicitor, that in view of the
fact that each tenement was complete in itself, the by-laws
could not be applied, no further steps were taken in the matter.
