County Council (General Powers) Act, 1907, 10 notices were served for the

BY-LAWS AS TO HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS.
At the end of the year, 637 houses were registered under these By-laws,
of these, 312 are in St. Giles and Bloomsbury, and 325 in the Holborn District;
16 such houses were removed from the Register principally on account of the
closing or demolition of the houses, and in some cases because the houses are now
occupied only by members of one family, and 12 were added to the Register,
During the year, there were 1,012 inspections of these premises, excluding a
very large number of periodical inspections and re-inspections. 17 notices were
served for 34 overcrowded rooms, and 209 notices for other breaches of the
By-laws, exclusive of 658 notices that were served for annual cleansing as required
by the By-laws.

the above Acts. The houses comprised 59 tenements (flats), the remaining parts
being let at too high a rental or used for business purposes. The Certificates were
granted for all except three basement fiats.
OVERCROWDING.
The number of dwelling rooms found to be overcrowded was 66, 34 of these
were dealt with as breaches of the By-laws as to houses let in lodgings.
