these premises having constantly to be repaired, it would
not open up any of the dark and narrow passages or
various cul-de-sacs or lead to the necessary re-arrangement
of streets, courts, and passages, recognised by all
to he so essential to the proper development and improvement
of this particular area.
Your Committee have recently viewed the district,
and have confirmed a representation made to them by
the Medical Officer of Health, who is now engaged in
preparing a farther official report to the London County
Council, as the authority responsible under Part 1 of the
Act for housing orders and improvement schemes.
In addition to this special feature of house to house
work, which I beg to submit is so far satisfactory, the
Borough is particularly well covered for ordinary
sanitary work, and is divided into six districts with a
Sanitary Inspector devoting his whole time to each.
Mr. Jones, formerly Superintendent of Drainage
Works, having been appointed to the district vacated
by Mr. Richards, this completed the six districts I have
already referred to and makes two Sanitary Inspectors
east of Cambridge Road, two south of Bethnal Green
Road, and two north of Bethnal Green Road.
It will thus be seen that none of the districts are
exceptionally large, that not only is the ground well
covered, but that all sanitary work can be, and is,
promptly dealt with.
