REVENUE ACT, 1903.
During 1904, 494 Certificates under the Revenue Act, 1903,
in connection with tenements (or dwellings) so constructed as to
afford suitable separate accommodation for such of the families
inhabiting the same, have been applied for, and, of these, 338
have been granted unconditionally; and 37 have been granted
conditionally, i.e., on condition that certain alterations and
improvements are carried out. In 119 cases, the certificates
were refused.
The limit of rent is extended by the Revenue Act, 1903, to
£60, but a certificate from the Medical Officer of Health is only
needed in the case of dwellings of an annual (gross rateable)
value not exceeding £40.
