In the above streets there is in most cases, but not in all, a
resident landlord who personally occupies two or more rooms, and
whose rent is for this reason unliquidated, and not included in the
above return.
In Affleck Street there is a scullery at the top of each house
used by the top tenants, and another scullery common to the
house mid-way on the staircase.
In each house the tenants have the use of a common washhouse.
