(4) Conditions, so far as they effect housing, as regards water supply,
closet accommodation, and refuse disposal, together with measures taken during
the year in these matters.—Whenever houses let to several families are
disoovered without water supply to the upper floors, notices are served
requiring a supply of water to be provided. During the year 82 houses
were dealt with, and 132 separate water supplies were provided.
Premises where the water closet accommodation is found to be insufficient
are also dealt with. During 1921 extra water closet accommodation was
provided in 34 instances.
IY.—Unhealthy Areas.
Information as to complaints received or representations made and action
taken in regard to unhealthy areas, under Part I or Part II of the Housing
Act of 1890.—No additional unhealthy areas were "represented" during
1921, nor were complaints received concerning them.
V.—Bye-laws relating to houses, to houses let in lodgings,
and to tents, vans, sheds, etc.
(1) As to working of existing Bye-laws, and (2) As to need for new
lye-laws or revision of existing Bye-laws.—The new Bye-laws for houses
let in lodgings have not yet been issued: they are urgently needed and
I hope they will be approved in 1922. The responsibilty for framing
these bye-laws is, by the Housing Act of 1919, placed upon the County
Council.
