bers of the people, and of the houses they occupy will be made, so
that the Board may be in a position to inform the London County
Council of the exact number of persons inhabiting each sanitary
area within the administrative County of London, in order that the
sixpenny rate levied under the Equalization of Bates Act 1894 may
be apportioned upon the basis of population in each district.
A separate house is defined as "all the space within the external
and party walls of the building," although it may be occupied by
several families living in distinct tenements, flats or appartments.
The directions to the enumerators are, that each separate block of
model dwellings or flats (no matter how many of these or how
assessed), will be counted as a single house only, but separate householder's
schedules will be left by the enumerators:—
(a) For each head of a family occupying the whole or part
of a house or block of tenements.
(b) For a lodger or lodgers separately occupying a room or
rooms and not boarding with the family.
(c) For out-door servants or caretakers residing in mews or
lodges.
(d) For the proprietors of Inns or Hotels.
Institutions, Empty Houses, and locked-up Shops and Offices will
all require to be distinguished by the enumerators.
Probably when these particulars are published we shall have a
better knowledge of what machinery will be requisite to work our
new tenement house regulations which have just been sanctioned by
Local Government Board.
