outside ? The housing problem of Fulham is only
part of the greater problem in London as a whole and
the London County Council are, to some extent, dealing
with that. In dealing with housing accommodation
in Fulham, I have obtained information through the
kindness of the secretaries of the War Seal Mansions
and the Lewis Trust Buildings as to the number of
flats erected by them during the past five years. The
War Seal Foundation have erected 72 flats during
these five years and now have some 470 tenants accommodated
in 138 flats, some flats having been
erected prior to 1921. The Lewis Trust Buildings in
Walham Green have provided during the last five
years 372 flats, giving accommodation to 1,993 persons.
