Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
Any observations in regard to the map should be entered
below:—
There are no considerable areas in the Borough which
could be included under (1), (2) or (3). There are several individual
houses or small groups of houses which would come
under (3), but they are at present being dealt with under
the Public Health (London) Act, 1891. There are also a num
ber of houses which might come under (4) at present occupied
by two families where the conditions are satisfactory except
for the provision of a separate water closet for each family.
In many cases this occupation is of a temporary character,
and as soon as houses at reasonable rents are available the
houses would revert to their original occupation.
In the areas marked neutral tint on the map there are a
considerable number of houses in which the accommodation is
limited, the rooms small, and the water supply outside the
house, and in a certain number there is no sink provided. Proper
provision for the storage of food is also absent in many of the
houses.

provision of New Houses under Section I. of the Housing, Town
