TENEMENT HOUSES.
The number of houses registered as being let in
lodgings or occupied by members of more than one
family was 207 ; 661 visits of inspection were made
to these houses, and arising out of such visits, 260
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 preparation,
and will be applicable to a large number of tenements
which are at present excluded from the operation of
the By-laws.
