Part III,
Lower Cross Road Scheme.
The materialisation of the scheme for the erection of Working Class
Dwellings, adopted by the Council on the 28th April, 1904, and which
was referred to at length in the annual report for that year, was advanced
another step on the 23rd May, when His "Worship the Mayor (Mr. Alderman
McMillan) laid the foundation stone of the new dwellings. The erection
of the buildings has since been pushed rapidly forward, and they will soon
be ready for occupation. The amended Bye-laws relating to Houses let in
Lodgings having come into operation on the 22nd June, arrangements
were at once made for carrying into effect the counterpart of this
scheme, namely, the vigilant enforcement of the sanitary regulations in
regard to the tenement houses in the surrounding district.
