DISS STREET AEEA.
The Improvement Scheme under Part II of the
Housing Act, 1890, with regard to a portion of the
Diss Street Area, was eventually sanctioned by the
Ministry of Health, after prolonged negotiations
during 1922. Steps were immediately taken to put
the scheme into operation, and building operations
commenced in October.
TENEMENT HOUSES.
The number of houses registered as being let in
lodgings or occupied by members of more than one
family was 209; 908 visits of inspection were made
to these houses, and arising out of such visits, 319
Notices were served. The present by-laws do not
apply when the landlord himself resides on the premises,
or where the rent of the tenement is above a
certain figure. This explains the limited number of
tenement houses which are now on the register and
subject to the by-laws. Revised by-laws are now in
process of drafting by the London County Council,
and will be applicable to a large number of tenements
which are at present excluded from the operation
of the by-laws.
