Bye-laws as to houses let in Lodgings.—At the end of 1904

During 1905 there were 75 of these houses which ceased to be
occupied by members of more than one family, thus reducing the
total registered houses let in lodgings in the Borough to 388. During
the year 1905, there were 122 of these inspected, 10 of which were
found to be overcrowded, the remainder were more or less dirty and
required cleaning. The overcrowding was abated and the cleaning
done on the service of notices.
