houses. With regard to individual houses the procedure adopted
in 1933 has been adhered to and a considerable amount of work
has been accomplished without formal notices being served. In
districts however, in which it is considered probable that action
under Part I. of the Housing Act might be taken, care is exercised
to ask only for repairs that are really urgent. Details of the work
in respect of individual houses will be found in the Tables below:—

Overcrowding.—Sections 1 to 12 of the Housing Act, 1935,
together with the First Schedule contain the specific provisions
of that Act for the abatement and prevention of Overcrowding.
Section 1 imposed on every local authority the duty of
carrying out an inspection of their district to ascertain what houses
were overcrowded, and in Greenwich this survey was practically
completed on 31st December, 1935.
