In November, 1935, a Survey of Working Class dwelling houses in
the Borough was carried out in accordance with the requirements of
Part 1, section 1, of the Housing Act, 1935. The problem of abating
overcrowding is receiving close consideration by a Special Committee of
the Council.
I have again to express my appreciation of the work of the staff of
the Public Health Department. I should also like to thank the members
of the Public Health, Maternity, Child Welfare, and other Committees
for the support and sympathetic consideration which they have extended
to me, and for their keen attention to the problems which it has been
my duty to lay before them.
Copies of this report have been transmitted to the Ministry of Health,
the Home Office and the London County Council, in accordance with
statutory requirements.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
w. h. l. McCarthy,
Medical Officer of Health.
