Section IV.
REPORTS PRESENTED TO THE BOROUGH COUNCIL.
On the 18th June tho Public Health Committee submitted to the
Borough Council a Report made by me on " The Saving of Life at
Fires," in which I drew attention to the inadequacy of the arrangements
of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in the Borough for saving life from
the upper storeys of mansions, flats, and business premises. It was
resolved that the Report be approved, and a copy forwarded to the
London County Council.
On the 16th July the Public Health Committee submitted to the
Borough Council Reports prepared by me on "The Housing of the
Working Classes in Chelsea" and "The Results of the Census of
London in 1901." The former Report gave the results of a special
inquiry and investigation into the existing housing accommodation for
the working classes in Chelsea, together with statistical tables. Tho
latter Report supplemented the information contained in the "Housing"
Report, with data obtained from the Census of 1901.
