school on the site so cleared; the Borough Council would
be required to undertake the clearance of an area comprising
the tenement buildings in Lisbon Street, and
by means of a scheme under Part II. of the Act to deal
with the area comprising houses on the south sides of
Scott Street and Dixie Street.
The proposals appeared to be for part of this area
to be dealt with by the London County Council, part by
the Borough Council, and the other part of it to remain
as at present.
The Town Clerk pointed out to the President that
the negotiations for some months appeared to have
been in the light of an adverse decision as regards the
representation made by the Medical Officer of Health
for a Part I. scheme, and that the Council would prefer
to learn definitely what the judicial decision of the Board
was as the result of the Public Inquiry held at the Town
Hall in October last.
We learnt from the President that the Local Government
Board had made it clear to the London County
Council that the Brady Street area could not remain in
its present unsatisfactory condition, and that effective
steps must be taken to remedy the evil conditions therein.
The Council, upon receiving a report from the Committee
as to the proceedings detailed above, resolved
unanimously :—
(i.) That the report be received and approved, and
that the Council do thank the members of the
deputation for their services in waiting upon
the President of the Local Government Board,
