Hammersmith.
The application was approved and a licence issued dated
the 1st July, 1936.
The maximum number of lodgers who may be received

VANS.
There are three caravans in the yard at the side of 261,
Latimer Boad, used for living and sleeping purposes by
five adults and three children. The average cubic capacity
for each person is 100 c. ft.
Begular inspections have been made, but owing to the
absence of special regulations and the fact that these vandwellers
are of the lowest gypsy-type, any improvements
in the sanitary conditions effected are of short duration.
In Britannia Yard, Wharf Boad, there is one caravan
in which two adults sleep. No nuisance has been observed
during inspections.
In the National Car Park opposite the White City Stadium
there is one large caravan occupied by the caretaker and
his wife. Other vans park here from time to time. This
site is a good one and the occupiers are of the showman
type with well-fitted caravans. No nuisance has been
observed during inspections.
