made in 1895 showed that many of the non-registered houses
were then let in lodgings, and a report to that effect was
made to the Sanitary Committee. The Committee, however,
decided, at that time, not to register any more houses pending
the confirmation by the Local Government Board of the
proposed new bye-laws. A few houses, nevertheless, have
since been registered, such as are wholly let in tenements,
including 25 in the "Notting-dale" special area.
In the fourth monthly report for 1895, (April 25th) this
subject was fully dealt with (pp. 50-63), and I submitted "a list
of some of the principal streets, the houses in which, so far as
they are let in lodgings or occupied by members of more than
one family, would appear to be proper to be registered," as
follows :—
(1) North District.—Branstone Street, Rackham-street,
Raymede-street, Swinbrook-road, Tottenhamstreet,
Treverton-street, and Wheatstone-road.
(2) Nort-east District.—All Saint's-road,
ham-terrace, Dulford-street, Lonsdale-road,
St. George's road, Talbot-grove, and Westernterrace.
(3) North-west District.—Blechynden-street (north
of Bramley - road), Hurstway - street, Merseystreet,
Royal Crescent-mews, St. James's-place,
Testerton-street, Tobin-street, and Walmer-road
(south of Lancaster-road).
(4) Central District.—None.
(5) South-east District.—Chapel-place, Lloyd's-place,
Middle-street, New-street, and Rutland-street,
