Section 9 repeals certain earlier enactments during the
continuance of this Act.
Section 10 states that the Act shall not apply to Scotland or
Ireland, that it shall, except where specially provided, came into
operation on January 1st, 1899, and that it shall remain in force
until January 1st, 1904.
Common No application has been made by the keeper of any
Lodging- Houses Common Lodging House to free the bedding of such
Acts, 1851-3. house from vermin by means of disinfection.
Houses Let in Lodgings or Occupied by Members of
more than one family.
Since the passing of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891,
this Vestry has made bye-laws to deal with this class of property,
which are made to apply to a 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 bye-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 byelaws
advisedly apply, viz., Orville Road, Wayland Road and
Green Lane, from which forty-four houses have been placed upon
the register.
