East Side of Warley Street. It consists of 432
houses of various sizes, including shop properties
occupied as residences. Some 40 of the houses were
unfit for human habitation, 316 required such

closed during such repair, 71 were in need
of minor repairs, and the remaining 5 were in fair
condition. The population of the area inspected
was 3,228.
