of the question, the Council was unanimously of the opinion
that nothing less than the demolition of all the houses
and the complete rearrangement of the streets would
suffice to remedy the lamentably unhealthy condition of
the area.
The Inspector intimated that he would report to the
Local Government Board in due course, and the question
as to dealing with the Brady Street area accordingly
remains in abeyance pending the decision of the Local
Government Board.
We desire to direct the attention of the Council to
the very valuable services rendered by the Town Clerk,
the Medical Officer of Health, the Borough Surveyor and
the Chief Sanitary Inspector in the preparation of
evidence tendered at the Inquiry on behalf of the
Council; further, we are of opinion that by the manner
in which the case for the Council was presented by the
Town Clerk, and by the evidence given by the other officers
above mentioned, very material assistance was rendered
in furthering the desire of the Council that the Brady
Street Area should be dealt with by the London County
Council under Part I. of the Housing of the Working
Classes Act, 1890. We
Recommend—
(i) That our report be received and approved.
(ii) That the thanks of the Council be tendered to
the Town Clerk, the Medical Officer of Health, the
Borough Surveyor, and the Chief Sanitary Inspector for
services rendered by them in connection with the
Inquiry.
The report was received and the recommendations agreed
to by the Council.
