Park Road, and on the Wyke Estate (Brixton), and in Northall
Street (Stockwell), and elsewhere throughout the Borough, call for
such alterations, but whether this work should be left to private
enterprise or should be undertaken by the Borough Council, with the
previous consent and approval of the London County Council (after
compulsory purchase of the sites at the land values) as a Municipal
Enterprise, or by Public Utility Societies and Housing Trusts, is a
matter for the Borough Council itself to decide in the first instance.
It should certainly be done by somebody, so as to relieve the present
temporary shortage of house accommodation, which is due to the
neglect of Owners during and owing to the War. This view of the
Housing Question has been suggested by the Medical Officer of
Health in a previous Report (vide Minutes, November, 1917, pages
106-107). Suffice it to mention the following instances (amongst
others) to show the practicability and success of such conversions_
