To the Public Health Committee.
Gentlemen,
The Commitlee of the whole Council re Housing of the
Working Classes, recommended on the 27 th February, 1901, "That the
Council do adopt Part III. of the Housing of the Working Classes
Act, 1890; that it be referred to the Public Health Committee to
enquire and for that purpose to appoint Inspectors to make full inquiry
and investigation into the nature and extent of overcrowding in the
Borough of Hampstead in those streets which are the most thickly
populated, and that temporary assistance be afforded to the Health
Department at a cost not exceeding £100; and that it be referred
to the Committee to consider the question of further housing accommodation
for the working classes."
This report was subsequently deferred, to allow the recommendation
to be submitted to the Finance Committee to report on its
financial bearings, and was finally adopted by the Council on March
28th, 1901.
