CUSTOMS and INLAND REVENUE ACTS,
1890 to 1903.
Applications for certificates to secure relief of
taxation under these Acts were made in respect of the
following premises and with results as noted: —
14, 16, 16a, 18, 18a, 20, 20a, 22, Mace Street. Sixteen
tenements—the premises were in a satisfactory condition and the
certificate was granted.
12, Bacon Street. Seven tenements—premises not suitable.
The certificate was refused.
348, Hackney Road. One tenement and shop below —these
are business premises to which the Acts do not apply. The certificate
was refused.
Reed's Mansions, 7, Gosset Street. Nine tenements —my
requirements as to sanitary accommodation and domestic
conveniences were not complied with. The application was refused.
1 to 26 Delamere Buildings, Collingwood Street. Twenty-six
tenements—the owner of these buildings applied for my certificate
but upon inspection such insanitary conditions were discovered that
by direction of the Public Health Committee full Statutory notices
were served. These were complied with, and nothing more could
have been enforced by Police Court proceedings, but I was not
satisfied with the condition of the premises and I declined to grant
the certificate, much to the disgust of the owner.
