served during the year under report in connection with houses in the
same Wards, but the work has not yet been commenced, although
some of the informal (provisional) schedules were prepared and served
many months ago. In all these cases, particulars of the addresses
will be given in future reports, when the work has been completed, or
practically completed, to the satisfaction of the Housing Inspectors,
hi a comparatively few of the cases, in which no work has yet been
started, although the informal (provisional) schedules were prepared
and served many months ago, legal schedules or notices will be
required to be served in the usual way by the Council.
(i) Special Areas.
Monkton Street Area. There is nothing new to report in connection
with this area. Nos. 41, 43, 45 and 53, Monkton Street are still
occupied, though no rents are being collected by the owners. These
four houses are the property of the Lambeth Board of Guardians, and
are required in connection with the improvement of the existing
Infirmary premises. Trowes Place (Nos. 4 and 5) are also the properly
of the Lambeth Board of Guardians, and Closing Orders are still
outstanding on the houses which are occupied. These two houses
form part of the Guardians' Lambeth Infirmary Scheme.
In this connection, the Borough Council has undertaken to re-house
the occupiers of the above-mentioned houses as a condition of the
Borough Council taking over the Prince's Road Workhouse as a
building site for working-class dwellings.
(2) Private Development Schemes.
(a ) Duchy of Cornwall.
The building schemes in Kennington have made further progress
during the year, and a large site in the Marsh Ward has been leased
to the Metropolitan Police for the building of dwellings for members of
the Police Force and their families the displaced tenants (few in
number) being found alternative accommodation elsewhere as required.
(b) Ecclesiastical Commissioners,
The building scheme in connection with the Ethelm Street area
appears to have been abandoned by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners
in consequence of the Medical Officer of Health of the Borough not
being in a position to make the necessary representation to the London
County Council as the Authority for insanitary and improvement areas
under the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890 (Part I).
