Bakehouses.
At the end of 1905 there were 37 Bakehouses on the Register,.
22 being under, and 15 over ground. This is a decrease in the total
number of 1, as compard with the previous year, and is due to the fact
that the overground bakehouse at 43, High Street, and the underground
bakehouse at 132, High Road, Kilburn, have been voluntarily closed,
and a new overground bakehouse having been opened at 57, Heath Street.
A list of the Bakehouses on the Register at the end of the year
will be found in Table XIV., page 134.
These premises have been kept under constant supervision during
the year.
HOUSING OF THE WORKING CLASSES ACT, 1890.
Part I,
Kilburn Vale Area.
The Annual Report for 1904, stated "that the representation of
this Area was still under the consideration of the Housing Committee."
The matter occupied their careful attention, and on 16th March it
was decided, " That the London County Council be approached with a
view of ascertaining whether, in the event of this Council dealing with
the area in question, they would be willing to contribute towards the
cost of a scheme under Part II. of the Housing of the Working Classes
Act, 1890."
The London County Council, on the 20th April, replied "that
having regard to the general disposition of the houses in the area as
compared with the condition of other districts within the County, the
Housing of the Working Classes Committee of the County Council regret
that they do not see their way to recommend that Council to make a
contribution in respect of a scheme for the improvement of the area in
question under the Housing of the Working Classes Acts."
In consequence of this reply, it was decided not to ask the Secretary
of State to prosecute an enquiry in respect of the area in question, but
to refer the houses in the area to the Public Health Committee to
deal with.
