same owner as No. 83, and the Council have authorised me to make

During 1916, the powers conferred by Section 78 of the L.C.C.
General Powers Act. 1907, have been exercised in regard to 63 houses,
making a total of 833 houses which have been dealt with in Hampstead
since the Act came into force.
Factories and Workshops Act.
Whilst maintaining careful supervision of the sanitary conditions
of the workshops and workplaces, due regard has been paid to the
altered conditions now pertaining. In many establishments women
have taken the place of men, so that establishments are now employing
both sexes when they formerly employed one. The Local Government
Board in a letter upon this subject dated 14th June, 1915, suggested
that endeavours should be made to re-arrange things as to obviate the
expense of providing double sanitary accomodation. These arrangements
would be only temporary during the War. This suggestion was
adopted and adhered to.
