Latimer Road (No. 3) Area.—In April, 1938, I made
an official representation that the houses in the Latimer
Road (No. 3) Area, known as 52 to 72 even, Latimer Road,
and Nos. 69 to 79, St. Ann's Road, should be dealt with
as a Clearance Area.
The Council in July declared that the area should be a
Clearance Area, and decided to purchase the land and the
additional lands required for the purpose of securing a
cleared area of convenient shape and dimensions for the
satisfactory development or user of the cleared area, and
accordingly made a compulsory purchase order.
The number of persons occupying the site on the 4th
April was 16.
An enquiry is to be held in 1939.
Shortlands (No. 2) Area.—In September, 1938, I made
an official representation with respect to Nos. 35 and 37,
Shortlands (known as No. 2 Area), which consists of two
brick-built two-storey houses 0.038 acre in extent.
The buildings were old and worn out; there is rising
dampness in each house; the brickwork is defective; the
lighting and ventilation generally bad and a large number
of other insanitary conditions exist.
The number of persons in occupation of the site was 4.
The Council declared the area to be a Clearance Area.
No enquiry was held.
Shortlands (No. 3) Area.—In September, 1938, I submitted

0.018 acre in extent. The buildings are old and badly
arranged; there is rising dampness and considerable dampness
