Many of the houses included in the last column of the return
were not let in lodgings or occupied by members of more than
one family when the other houses in the same streets were
registered, between the years 1886-89. Inspection 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.
In the fourth monthly report for 1895, this subject was
fully dealt with (pp. 50-63 inclusive), 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,
Trevei ton-street, and Wheatstone-road.
(2) north-east District.—All Saints'-road, Bucking-
ham-terrace, Dulford-street, Lonsdale-road,
St. George's-road, Talbot-grove, and Western
terrace.
(3) North-west District.— Blechynden-Street (north
of Bramley-road), Hurstway-street, Manchesterstreet,
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.
(6) south-west District.—Barker-street, Emma-place,
Holmes-place, Kensington-buildings, Park-terrace,
and Providence-terrace.
No action was taken upon the report.
