Action under Section 62 of the Housing Act, 1936.
Section 62 of the Housing Act prescribes that every rent book
or similar document shall contain a summary of the overcrowding
provisions of the Act, together with a statement as to the "permitted
number" for the dwelling.
In 49 cases (relating to 59 houses) this section was found
to have been contravened. Satisfactory explanations having been
received, and the rent books having been put in order, cautionary
letters were, by the direction of the Housing Committee, addressed
to the offenders.
Structural Defects.
The attention of the District Surveyor of the London County
Council was drawn, in 97 instances, to structural defects observed
by the Sanitary Inspectors during the course of their duties.
