We wish to acknowledge the help we have received from the general
practitioners of Hampstead who co-operate with us freely in order that
a fair estimate can be made of each case. The following table sets
out the points that were awarded. No points were given in 318 cases
as there were no medical grounds which would not be met by points
allocated by the Housing Estates Managers

INCREASE OF RENT AND MORTGAGE INTEREST
(RESTRICTIONS) ACTS
No certificate was issued during the year.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Public Health (London) Act. 1936
It is pleasing to record that for the first time for many years,
it was necessary in only one instance to prosecute for non-compliance
with a Statutory Notice. The work was done prior to the hearing and
the Summons was dismissed on payment of £2.2s.0d. costs.
London County Council Drainage By-laws
Two builders were prosecuted in respect of infringements of these
By-laws. In one case not only had the work been done improperly,
but no notification was given to, nor plans deposited with, the local
authority. Fines totalling £10 were imposed and £5.5s.0d. costs
awarded to the Council.
COMMON LODGING HOUSES
There are no common lodging houses in the Borough.
